Guns stolen in 2 southern Alberta break-ins
Weapons stolen in Hanna and in nearby Youngstown
Police are searching for two people after a number of semi-automatic rifles and other weapons were stolen during two separate break-ins in southern Alberta.
The first incident happened in Hanna on Jan. 18, sometime between 7 p.m. and 10 p.m.
Stolen from the building were seven semi-automatic rifles, a shotgun, a gun cabinet, assorted ammunition and liquor, say RCMP in a press release.
Security camera images showed two people – believed to be a man and a woman – driving an older model Dodge Ram truck with a box cover. The pair wore dark clothing and "very distinct black and red gloves."
The next afternoon, more weapons were stolen from a home near Youngstown, about 55 kilometres from Hanna.
Among the items stolen were four guns, bullets, and a suitcase full of handmade Damascus knives.
The vehicle seen leaving the area was described as a newer model, black Dodge Ram truck, with a slip tank in the back.
RCMP have not said whether the two incidents were connected.
