Salmon Arm RCMP locate $15,000 worth of tools stolen from construction site

Stolen tools return home

A construction site owner in Salmon Arm has been reunited with $15,000 worth of stolen tools.

Salmon Arm RCMP say the owner had a comprehensive list with a good description of the tools taken from the job site on Sept. 2.

Investigators located neighbourhood video that showed a vehicle in the area.

Officers recognized the green Suzuki SUV and went to another residence, where they located the suspect vehicle.

“Someone had put all the tools in a shed on the property where police recovered them. The officers were able to call the owner and reunite him with his equipment,” says Sgt. Scott West.

Charges are not expected to be laid in the case.

“Police were very happy to get the workers back their tools so they could get back to work,” says West.
