The Wood Buffalo RCMP is investigating a recent Thickewood breaking and entering, and they are asking for help from the public to identify the individual responsible. The crime occurred during the very early hours of the morning on February 17, and the burglar alarm system alerted police that a breaking and entering took place. When the police responded and arrived on scene they found the Wolverine Drive Shoppers Drug Mart in Thickewood had been broken into. Details on what the male suspect took have not been released, police have only disclosed that the criminal did take some undisclosed items before fleeing, and he was gone when police arrived at the store. The RCMP is asking the public to look at the surveillance video and help identify the individual who committed this crime.

So far the Wood Buffalo RCMP have not disclosed a motive for the Thickwood breaking and entering, bu the fact that the store targeted was a drug store has made some wonder if the suspect was hoping to access and steal prescription medications that have a high potential for abuse, such as narcotic pain killers or anxiety medications. Anyone who has any information about this crime should contact the Wood Buffalo RCMP and tell them what you know. This time the target was a drug store, but next time it could be a residence that is occupied when the breaking and entering happens. Someone knows who this suspect is and recognizes the picture, and the police are asking this person to come forward and contact them.
