RCMP say there could be more victims who aren’t yet aware that their property has been stolen.

“Since the storage lockers are infrequently visited by their owners, an exact timeline of the offences is unknown,” said Media Relations Officer, Corporal Alexa Hodgins. “Police believe that there could be more victims who are unaware that their items have been stolen and are encouraging the public to check their storage units.”

Police shared photos showing a framed Wayne Gretzky jersey and autographed helmets from the NFL that were among the recovered items.
