Days after the original theft, RCMP stumbled across a stash of stolen tires in the garage of a Rutland home, as they searched for a male suspect on an unrelated matter.
On Jan. 12 before 8:30 a.m., RCMP received a report of an overnight commercial break, enter and theft of thousands of dollars worth of tires from a car dealership in the 2500 block of Enterprise.
“On Jan.14, a general duty officer was in the process of conducting a search of a Hollydell Road residence, for a male suspect on an unrelated matter, when she stumbled upon numerous tire sets stashed in the home's garage,” states Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey. “Police have since seized the nearly 30 stolen tires, which were then returned to the affected dealership, where employees continue to assess whether or not any tires remain outstanding.”
Police say no arrests have yet been made in connection with the alleged break and enter.
