PINCHER CREEK – RCMP continue to investigate a series of thefts and the recovery of stolen property in Pincher Creek and are asking for the public’s help in solving the crimes.

A portion of the investigation involves the theft of two trailers that were recovered at the Castle Mountain Ski hill on Thursday, Nov 9.

A travel trailer that had been stolen from the Blue Trail RV Park, located on highway 810 south of Fort Macleod, was then taken to the Castle Mountain Ski hill, and plugged into one of the vacant sites. Later a white enclosed trailer stolen from the Coaldale area was also parked at the site.  When both trailers were searched they were found to be full of other stolen property.

Some of the property was stolen from other trailers that were stored at the Blue Trail RV Park, which had been broken into. Other items in the trailers were stolen in the Coaldale area.

Regarding a second investigation, Pincher Creek RCMP responded to a complaint on Sunday, Nov 12, in which someone had removed the diesel particulate filter catalysts system from a large truck parked in the town’s industrial area.

It is suspected this unit was stolen for the recycling value of the metals contained in the system, and the theft is believed to have happened the night of Saturday, Nov 11.

Anyone who has information regarding these or any other crimes is asked to please contact the Pincher Creek RCMP at 403-627-6010 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS(8477)
