RCMP are warning homeowners in and around La Salle, a community just south of Winnipeg, to make sure their snowmobiles are in a locked garage or locked down on a trailer after thieves stole two machines.
On February 1, 2018, police say they received a call from a man in La Salle who reported that just after 4:00 am he went out to his garage after hearing a noise and discovered a male trying to steal a snowmobile. The man said the suspect ran away into a waiting white pickup and that there were four adult males in the truck.
Two more calls came in later that day. One of the calls was from a homeowner who had noticed the lock on his trailer and his garage door had been tampered with but nothing appeared to have been stolen.
The third caller reported that someone broke into his garage overnight and stole two snowmobiles.
RCMP are asking anyone who may have information about the break-ins to contact them.
