Police say on February 9, 2024, officers responded to a report of a break and enter at an abandoned property on 98th Street. PJXM mapped the property to the industrial park in the city’s south end. When officers arrived on scene, they found that the rear door to the building had been kicked in.

Various items were stolen from the building, including several wildlife trophy hunts.

• 14 mule deer and whitetail antlers
• 1 cinnamon coloured black bear hide
• 1 grey coloured wolf hide
• 1 mountain sheep hide
• 1 mountain goat hide
• boxes of .22 caliber ammunition.
• The antlers are in a European mount style, some with full skull others with only partial, attached to a metal wall mount stand.

“This collection represents years of trophy hunts and fond memories to the family,” said Constable Chad Neustaeter, Media Relations Officer for the Fort St. John RCMP. “Any assistance the public can provide in potentially recovering these items would be greatly appreciated.“
