The value of the stolen goods is “in the thousands (of dollars)”, said RCMP spokesperson Tara Seel.

She said that while the RCMP aren’t releasing specifics on the amount of gold and silver taken from the house in Reynolds, they’re hoping the strange nature of the crime means someone in the public can help them find the perpetrator.

“It is unusual for sure, and that’s why we thought even with the very little information that we’ve put out there, that perhaps someone does know something.”
