Thieves made off with nearly $11,000 in telescopes when they broke into the Okanagan Observatory near Big White Ski Resort this week.
Mounties said video surveillance indicates two suspects broke into a C-Can on Wednesday and thieves took five telescopes, an articulating eyepiece and several other items from the gated property.
The articulating eyepiece is used to position the telescope for people in wheelchairs.
