BCF Release

Users of the Badlands Community Facility are being warned to protect their belongings after several thefts from lockers took place.
   Constable Eric Doucette was at the Badlands Community Facility on Sunday, December 15 investigating one such theft.
   He tells the Mail that over the previous week, there had been in the area of 10 break-ins and thefts. He says some of these thefts were from locked lockers. In one case the lock was missing so it is not known whether it was cut or picked.
   Manager of Recreation, Art and Culture at the Town of Drumheller, Daren Goldthorpe, is aware of a number of investigations and has posted a sign cautioning users to protect their property.
   “We’ve put up another sign saying to please lock your valuables, leave them in your vehicle or leave them at home,” said Goldthorpe. “We go through cycles like this a couple times a year just to remind people.”
   “At this time of year, people are carrying more stuff around with them. They may go to the gym and go Christmas shopping… the biggest thing for us as much as we do our due diligence here, it is important for all users to either leave their valuables at home, or if they bring them, they are not left unattended, or left in a locked locker,” said Goldthorpe.
