A large number of items were taken from the business including; $5,400 cash, Sony digital camera, gold necklace, two watches, $3,600 from the ATM machine, a laptop computer in addition to various other items. Currently there are no suspects or witnesses to the crime therefore if anyone has any information that could assist police in the investigation it would be greatly appreciated.
Provost RCMP are urging residents to take precautions when driving in these winter months. As expected the number of vehicle collisions and traffic accidents have steadily increased significantly during recent weather.
Police are also advising residents of Provost and surrounding communities the importance of locking their vehicles and residences when left unattended and particularly at night before going to bed, as there have been a large number of thefts from vehicles, specifically vehicles that have been left unlocked in addition to various break and enter offenses into local businesses.
If anyone has information that police should be aware of they are asked to notify the Provost RCMP or CrimeStoppers.
