CALGARY – Calgary Police are posting photos of stolen property from a northeast garage in hopes of returning the items to the rightful owners.

On March 18, a search warrant allowed officers to locate about $25,000 worth of stolen goods at a detached garage in the 100 block of Whitehorn Rd. N.E.

The tools include saws, grinders, routers, battery chargers, drills, staple guns, and surveyor equipment and are believed to be largely from break and enters into shops and industrial compounds, according to police.

Investigators believe the property was recently stolen, and ask anyone who thinks they may be the owners to contact Cst. Harrison at 403-428-6600 or send an email to pol4976@calgarypolice.ca referencing the case and exhibit numbers provided at the link below. You will be asked to provide proof of ownership, detailed descriptions of identifiable markings, and relevant information.

Below are some photos of the stolen goods, which police say may have been altered to “conceal identifying markings that only the owner would have knowledge of.”
