Police report a daring culprit broke into the Lake Country RCMP detachment on Grant Crescent and made off with a small amount of marijuana which was being held as evidence in charges under the Controlled Drug and Substance Act. It is believed the intruder gained entry to the office through an unlocked ground-level window near the main entrance. The marijuana was taken from a secure exhibit storage area inside the office. Police say the theft of marijuana did not exceed 100 grams, or just over three ounces. At this time, it is not known if the theft will affect any criminal proceedings currently underway. This break-in is still under investigation and police are not releasing further details of this crime at this time. Although police will not discuss security issues, they do say appropriate measures have not been taken to ensure there are no further breeches of security. The Lake Country detachment plan to be relocating into the building now vacated by Interior Savings Credit Union next month. - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
