Tips sought on Plaster Rock break-in perps
RCMP releases security images of two suspects who burglarized business early Jan. 25
Police have security images of two suspects who broke into a Plaster Rock business more than two weeks ago, and they’re hoping members of the public can identify them.
The Perth-Andover detachment of the RCMP issued a news release Monday, reporting its officers are investigating a break, enter and theft at an area business.
“The incident is believed to have occurred between 1:20 a.m. and 1:48 a.m. on Jan. 25, at a business on Old CN Station Road, in Plaster Rock,” it said.
“Two individuals arrived on foot and forcefully gained entry to a building by breaking the lock and damaging the garage door, and stole a three-ton chain hoist, a propane torch, a chainsaw, a leaf blower, fuel and a propane tank.”
The RCMP says the pair also broke into a vehicle and caused significant damage to it.
The release was accompanied by grainy stills from security footage depicting the two suspects, and police asked anyone who recognizes either of them to provide information.
“The first individual is described as having a small build. At the time of the incident, he was wearing blue coveralls, gloves, a red toque and a black balaclava,” the release said.
“The second individual is described as having a medium build. At the time of the incident, he was wearing a black jacket, black pants, a grey toque, gloves and a red balaclava.”
Area residents who may have witnessed suspicious activity or others who might have information that could aid the ongoing investigation are urged to call the Perth-Andover RCMP at 506-325-3000.
