For three weeks, the 100 Mile House RCMP have had reports of mailboxes being broken into on Telqua Drive near 108 Mile Ranch.
“It’s the same location that has been occurring for the last few weeks, near the 108 Golf Resort,” says Sergeant Brian Lamb.
The latest incident was reported on July 14, when police were called to Telqua Drive to investigate the damage done to the set of community mailboxes. Lamb says that Police believe the initial incident occurred over the weekend on July 11 and 12.
Police say it is not yet known if any mail has been stolen.
“I would advise anyone who was affected to report it to Canada Post, and watch your mail for different things that could be an indicator of mail fraud,” Lamb says.
Lamb says there have been a number of incidents involving damaged mailboxes in the 108 area on Telqua Drive over the last few weeks.
The first recent report was on June 28, when RCMP got a report of theft in the 4000 Block of Telqua Drive. At the time, police found that seven mailboxes had been pried open, but it is not known when the break-ins exactly occurred, nor what was taken.
Another incident of mailboxes being damaged was reported on July 5. It was unknown in this incident what may or may not have been taken.
Police say Canada Post is aware of each of the incidents that have occurred over the last few weeks. The RCMP asks if anyone has any information, has seen suspicious activity in the area, or footage of the break-ins to contact the 100 Mile House RCMP detachment and Canada Post.
