Photo of firearms theft suspect released

Police have released a surveillance photo of a suspect in the theft of some guns from a store in Oliver.

RCMP say a male suspect broke the glass front door to the Canadian Tire store around 3:30 a.m. on June 13.

“Once inside the store, the man was able to enter a locked firearms cabinet, in which he removed four firearms along with ammunition. He then fled out the same front door, and into a parked car where another male driver was waiting,” said Constable James Grandy, media relations officer for Penticton RCMP.

The firearms stolen: Mossberg Patriot Night Train 300, bolt action, Mossberg Maverick hinge action shotgun, Ruger 10-22 .22 rifle, Savage Model Rascal Target .22 bolt action rifle.

The suspect was captured on video surveillance, and police are hoping the public may be able to identify him.

The Oliver RCMP is requesting that if you have any information on this, or any other crime, to contact them at 250-498-3422, or Crime Stoppers 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
