Officers continue to try and solve the case of the May 24 break-and-enter at Tipton's Your Independent Grocers.

According to a press release, Athabasca RCMP attended the store at approximately 4:40 a.m. As they attended the scene, they found more than $9,000 worth of narcotics had been taken from the pharmacy.

"We are still looking for the suspects," said RCMP Cpl. Steve D. Bereza. "We have no leads to date, and we continue to seek the public's assistance in identifying the suspects."

The news release said police reviewed security footage, which revealed two men arriving in a newer-model F-350 Super Duty. Police said the passenger got out and broke into the store while the driver sat in the truck and waited.

Footage showed the passenger went straight to the pharmacy and took the narcotics before leaving.

Anyone with information on the two suspects is asked to call the detachment at 780-675-5122, or your local police service.

For those who wish to remain anonymous, you can contact Crime Stoppers by phone at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), or by internet at www.tipsubmit.com.
