New Information on Thefts of Dogs



Good afternoon,

I ask that you provide the following update in relation to the below noted Rural Crime Watch release.

The Morinville RCMP believes there was a miscommunication when the original Rural Crime Watch release was disseminated regarding a missing dog.  Morinville RCMP has not found any connection between the reported missing dog and the white truck with the red topper that was seen in the area.

Further, Morinville RCMP has not received any reports of theft of dogs in Sturgeon County, no reports of persons checking properties without surveillance for dogs, nor any further reports about the suspicious white truck with the red topper.

Thank you,
