File # 2026-1014

The Fort St John RCMP is seeking information from the public regarding a $250,000 theft of copper wire.

On February 4th, 2026 it was reported to the Fort St John RCMP that approximately $250,000 worth of copper wire had been stripped and stolen from an unmanned rural gas site on Lower Cache Road near HWY 97 in Charlie Lake, BC. The theft is believed to have occurred intermittently between November 26th, 2025 and February 4th, 2026.

"We're asking anyone who may have seen something suspicious or has dashcam or surveillance footage of suspicious activity in the area to contact us. With thefts like these, suspects usually spend a considerable amount of time at the site. Handling and hauling that amount of stolen material also makes the acts much more conspicuous," said Constable Christiaan Dreyer, Media Relations Officer with the Fort St John RCMP.

The Fort St John RCMP continues to investigate and is asking anyone who has information in this matter to contact the Fort St John RCMP at 250-787-8100. Should you wish to remain anonymous, please call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or submit a tip online at www.northernbccrimestoppers.ca
