VERNON - RCMP are asking for the public’s help to find the thieves who stole thousands of dollars worth of tire chains from a storage yard on the weekend.
Police say someone broke into the Western Equipment storage yard at 1046 Middleton Way sometime overnight on Friday, Sept. 18.
Thieves made off with 60 sets of Trygg tire chains, worth about $12,000, stored outside in the locked, fenced compound.
