The Northeast District RCMP has recovered more than 100 electronics stolen from schools in the Tracadie, N.B. area, but there are still some that have yet to be found.
In a release, the RCMP said police received a report of a break, enter and theft at École W.-Arthur-Losier on July 5, which was believed to have taken place between July 2 and the date it was reported.
A 55-year-old man and a 51-year-old man were later arrested after police executed a search warrant at a home on Rue de l’Église on July 20.
Some of the stolen electronics were recovered during the search and both men were arrested at the scene and later released pending a future court appearance.
The RCMP received another report of a break, enter and theft of electronics at École La Ruche on Aug. 2, believed to have taken place between July 30 and the date of the report.
Police executed a search warrant at a home on Rue Bellevue on Aug. 4 and a 34-year old man was arrested and was later released pending a future court appearance. Some of the remaining electronics were recovered from that home.
The release said some of the stolen electronics — which include Apple, Dell, HP, Lenovo and Toshiba laptops and tablets — may have been sold in communities in the Acadian Peninsula.
“If you have purchased a laptop or tablet privately since July 2, please contact the Tracadie RCMP at 506-393-3000 to make sure your item is not stolen,” says Sgt. Chiasson with the Tracadie RCMP.
Police say the investigation is ongoing.
