MIDDLE LAKE, PILGER — Humboldt-Lanigan RCMP believe a series of break and enters in Middle Lake and Pilger are all connected.
Between March 28 and March 30, there were five break and enters affecting small businesses in Pilger, while in Middle Lake, a business on Centre Street was broken into as well as other small-town amenities.
There was damage caused by the break-ins. As well, items and small amount of cash were stolen.
Cst. Geoff Applegate of the Humboldt-Lanigan RCMP said they believe they are related because of the timeframe they were all carried out.
“[We believe they are related] given the manner in which they were carried out in the timeframe when they occurred as well as given the fact that break and enters are fairly few and far between.”
Applegate said they are asking for the public’s help.
“The Humboldt RCMP are still investigating all these together and are looking for public assistance,” he said. “Any video, anything suspicious that people saw around that time frame, or any word of mouth that they can help us with any information regarding these [crimes].”
