The Sackville RCMP have put out a call for help regarding the theft of roofing material that took place on Mallard Drive in September.
Sergeant Eric Hanson of the Sackville detachment says police were dispatched to Payzant’s Home Hardware in Sackville in the early morning of September 19, 2023, in response to report of a theft. Sometime between 3:30am and 5:20am that morning someone cut the lock to the lumberyard and stole 26 packs of roof shingles and four rolls of Weathertex roofing material. The materials are valued at about $1700.
Hanson says the suspect was driving a black Ford F150, “and in the process of getting in and out of there actually broke the passenger mirror on their vehicle.” The suspect was captured on video and appeared to be a white male wearing a green bandana covering his face, a red t shirt, a black hoodie, blue jeans and black shoes.
“As of now, this person has not yet been identified, but we’re reaching out to the public for help,” says Hanson. “If anybody may have seen somebody matching that description or that vehicle in the Sackville area around that time, we encourage them to call the RCMP.”
Hanson says police don’t believe the theft is connected to others in the region.
The call for public help is coming weeks after the incident occurred, and Hanson says there’s no special reason for the delay outside of scheduling of officers, and the process for news releases to be prepared and approved.
