At approximately 10:00 a.m. on January 16, 2022, police received a report of a break and enter that occurred at a warehouse on Main Street in Buchans. Surveillance showed that the break and enter occurred shortly before 6:00 a.m. on Sunday morning. Suspect(s) broke one of the windows at the rear of the building to gain access. The following items were stolen:

A dark coloured pickup truck was captured on surveillance departing the area at the time of the break and enter.
