In the early hours of Wednesday morning a trio of thieves made use of a truck stolen from Prince Rupert to crash through the doors of the Misty River Tackle shop located on Agar Street on the south side of Terrace.
Video cameras caught images of the three individuals as they entered the store, taking an entire rack of weapons in the form of long guns as part of the incident. Following a review of the video, police officials determined that the three suspects were two males and one female, the latter the driver of the vehicle.
The Terrace RCMP outlined the timeline to the incident in a media release from Tuesday, which notes that the vehicle, a beige 2006 Toyota Tacoma had been reported as stolen in Prince Rupert on December 30th.
The Video surveillance recorded the break in as taking place at 4:30 on Wednesday morning, the truck was found shortly after the incident, having been set ablaze and abandoned in the Thornhill area.
A link on the Terrace Buy and Sell Facebook page lists the serial numbers of the stolen weapons and a warning to be aware of any used firearms that may be offered for sale in the Northwest. And judging by some of the comments to be found on Social media in that city, some in the Terrace area are a little uneasy with such a large cache of weapons being loose in the community.
