Multiple RCMP uniform pieces were stolen from a northwest Calgary home during a break-and-enter on Tuesday.

According to Calgary police, two people broke into a residence in Rockland Park between 7:45 a.m. and 12 p.m. The home, belonging to an Alberta RCMP member, is located in the 0 to 100 block of Rowley Terrace N.W.

Police believe multiple RCMP uniforms and boots, along with jewelry, handbags and wallets, were stolen from the home. The value of the stolen property is more than $5,000.

The suspects may have been driving a U-Haul truck at the time of the break-in, police said. One male suspect was seen wearing a red reflective work jacket.

Some of the stolen uniform pieces have been recovered, but others remain unfound.

The Calgary Police Service is reminding the public that anyone with a concern about someone identifying themselves as a police officer can ask to see their badge and identification card.
