“RCMP cannot confirm at this time if the break-in was targeted due to the presence of firearms or not, as the criminals went through the entire house and stole other items besides the guns,” Cpl. Karyn Kay of the Red Deer RCMP said in a release on Tuesday.
“The firearms were appropriately licensed and stored, and were owned by hobbyists, but it’s always a concern when firearms make their way into the hands of criminals, as happened in this case.”
The stolen snake is described as a corn snake and is between five and six feet long.
Anyone who spots any of the stolen items for sale is asked to call RCMP at 403-343-5575. If you wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or report it online.
