MISSION – RCMP say they are still seeking information from the public to solve a mid-November break-in in Mission, during which over a dozen firearms were stolen.

Investigators say some of the Nov. 14 theft was captured on overnight CCTV footage, which shows a group of people breaking into a Sylvester Road property in the Hatzic area just before 2 a.m.

“They forced entry to multiple locations on the property and stole a large firearm safe, over a dozen firearms – both rifles and handguns – and a quantity of jewelry,” an RCMP spokesperson revealed in an email.

“The offenders were well-prepared for the break and enter and wore balaclavas and gloves.”

Detectives say a white 2018 Honda Odyssey minivan was used in the theft and later seized from a property near Mission that same day.

Police are seeking information on sightings of the Odyssey, which may have traveled through Mission, Silverdale, and east Maple Ridge between Nov. 9 and 14.

They are also asking residents to be on the lookout for a discarded gun safe approximately five feet in size.

Anyone with information should call Mission RCMP at 604-826-7161.
