On Jan. 24, between the hours of 03 a.m. and 04:30 a.m., an unknown person stole approx. $250K worth of tools from a vehicle that was parked overnight at a local business in the area of 44 Street and 56 Ave.
After reviewing video surveillance, Lloydminster RCMP determined a lone person dressed in black clothing entered the parked vehicle, took the tools, then drove away in a vehicle. The license plate of this vehicle was not observed in the video surveillance.
Later that day, the business received an anonymous phone call stating the tools had been returned and were then located beside truck where they had originally been taken from. The complainant was very happy to receive the good news of the recovered tools, as it would have been detrimental to their small business to have to replace them.
Lloydminster RCMP continue to search for a suspect in this matter.
