Police say they are looking to recover some high-end industrial items that were allegedly stolen from a Glanbrook business in September and later sold on the property.

The force’s break and enter, auto theft and robbery (BEAR) branch says the equipment was likely sold in a “garage sale environment” during the week of Sept. 23 to 30.

Investigators say suspects broke into a commercial business at 4351 Highway 6 during the last week of September and removed equipment used for painting and chroming metals.

“The frequency of when the owners visited the property was irregular so I believe they are not running a traditional Monday to Friday 9-5 operation,” Const. Jerome Stewart told Global News, “Therefore there were times when they were not around.”

Anyone with information can reach out to detectives at 905-546-8939 or 905-546-2991.
