The Cumberland County District RCMP is investigating after an encased RCMP badge belonging to a retired officer was stolen.
In a release, police say they received a report of a theft from a storage locker on Tupper Boulevard in West Amherst on Oct. 21.
It said there were a number of household items inside the storage locker, along with an encased RCMP badge that belongs to a retired RCMP officer.
The badge is gold and is encased in an acrylic plastic case.
In an email, RCMP spokesperson Chris Marshall said retired RCMP officers are permitted to keep their badge when retired in good standing.
“The badge is encased in acrylic so that it can no longer be used as identification as a peace officer,” he said. “There are no set rules concerning storage of the badge, as again, it is encased acrylic so that it cannot be used as identification.”
Anyone with information about the theft is asked to contact Cumberland County District RCMP at 902-667-3859.
