Rosetown RCMP investigating series of break-ins

ROSETOWN — Rosetown RCMP are searching for a suspect after a series of break and enters at several local buildings earlier this month.

Police say they received multiple reports on Nov. 3 of break-ins that happened overnight. Investigators determined an individual forced entry into two Main Street buildings — a municipal building and a church — damaging doors and stealing a tote bag and an undisclosed amount of money.

Further investigation found two additional buildings on Highway 4 — a business and a town maintenance building — had also been broken into. Tools and cash were reported stolen from the business, and a vehicle was taken from the maintenance building’s property. RCMP say the vehicle has since been recovered.

Police also received a report of an attempted break-in at another municipal building off Highway 4. A door was damaged but the suspect did not get inside.

RCMP say the incidents occurred between 1 a.m. and 8 a.m. on Nov. 3.

The suspect is described as a man wearing dark clothing, red gloves and a face covering at the time. RCMP have released photos of the individual.

Investigators are asking anyone who drove through the affected areas early on Nov. 3 to review their dash camera footage. Residents are also being urged to check home security and doorbell cameras for any suspicious activity.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Rosetown RCMP at 310-RCMP. Tips can also be submitted anonymously through Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS or online at the Crime Stoppers website.
