Members of the Sundre RCMP detachment are investigating a recent break-and-enter on a rural residence where dozens of firearms were stolen as well as jewelry and a pickup truck.

On Tuesday, officers responded to the home after the owner reported the theft. RCMP determined approximately 35 long barreled firearms and 15 handguns had been removed from a secured room within the home.

The homeowner’s stolen pickup truck was located by police several kilometres from the home. The abandoned truck contained none of the stolen property.

According to witness reports, a vehicle was seen in the area near the time of the break-and-enter.

RCMP describe the suspect vehicle as:

  • A newer model pickup truck
  • Blue
  • “Jacked up” with big tires
  • Having a blue tarp in the box

Police have not released any information regarding suspect descriptions.

Anyone having information about the break-and-enter is asked to contact the Sundre RCMP detachment, 403-638-3675, or Crime Stoppers.
