Photo of firearms theft suspect released

Police have released a surveillance photo of a suspect in the theft of some guns from a store in Oliver.

RCMP say a male suspect broke the glass front door to the Canadian Tire store around 3:30 a.m. on June 13.

“Once inside the store, the man was able to enter a locked firearms cabinet, in which he removed four firearms along with ammunition. He then fled out the same front door, and into a parked car where another male driver was waiting,” said Constable James Grandy, media relations officer for Penticton RCMP.

The firearms stolen: Mossberg Patriot Night Train 300, bolt action, Mossberg Maverick hinge action shotgun, Ruger 10-22 .22 rifle, Savage Model Rascal Target .22 bolt action rifle.
