Guysborough County District RCMP is investigating two break and enters that were reported over Thanksgiving weekend and seeking witnesses.
On October 12 at 10:30 a.m., officers learned that a break and enter and theft had occurred overnight at the Seven Communities Volunteer Fire Department on Hwy. 344 in Hadleyville. Items taken include backup fuel and donated items, and there was damage to the outside of the building.
Fire department leadership confirmed that essential tools and equipment needed for firefighting were not taken or damaged.
“Any property crime is disappointing for the people impacted. This situation is particularly disheartening because it impacts the community as a whole,” says Sgt. Natasha Ferrell, District Commander, Guysborough County District RCMP. “We hope that anyone with information, including the people involved, will come forward to police or Crime Stoppers.”
Later that day, officers received a report of a separate break and enter at an empty building at another property on Hwy. 344. Nothing was taken or damaged. Investigators believe this incident may have happened around the same as the break and enter at the firehall and could be related.
Anyone with information about these incidents in encouraged to contact Guysborough County District RCMP at 902-366-2440. To remain anonymous, call Nova Scotia Crime Stoppers, toll-free, at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), submit a secure web tip at www.crimestoppers.ns.ca, or use the P3 Tips app.
