The Drumheller Corn Maze, located near Horseshoe Canyon by Beynon Corner, was the victim of vandalism and theft sometime during the night of Friday, October 14.
“When I got in to work the next day, the lock on the storage bin was beaten up, and the cash register was broken open,” said Claudia Denomtigny of the Corn Maze. “They also spray painted a smiley face on one of the signs.”
The thieves stole approximately $100 from the register.
The employees at the Corn Maze are frustrated and worried over the recent break in.
“I was going to bring my daughter to work today, but I’m glad I didn’t,” said Denomtigny. “I don’t feel safe here alone.”
RCMP are continuing to investigate. If anyone has any information in regards to the theft, they are asked to call Crime Stoppers or the Drumheller RCMP.
For now, the Corn Maze is getting ready for their haunted maze. During the evenings leading up to Halloween, the maze will be transformed with eerie sounds and ghoulish characters prowling the labyrinthine corridors.
