Arctic Ventures was broken into early Sunday with more than $70,000 worth of items and cash stolen, according to a media release issued by RCMP spokeswoman Sgt. Pauline Melanson.
RCMP received the complaint about a break-and-enter at approximately 7 a.m. A safe, packs of cigarettes, gift cards and cash were taken, but the safe was later found by RCMP.
Security cameras caught video footage of the suspects. One has an orange jacket with fur trim, as well as a black backpack with three white stripes by the side. The other suspect wore a black hoodie, black pants and a cap along with a white tote bag.

Unique bright orange jacket. Very smart criminal.
They say $70,000 in cash and goods taken? The real cost is likely $20,000. The $70K is Ventures markup. Lol.
No alarm system?
Those guys don’t hang around in front anymore, I guess they have enough money now.
Spokeswomen Sgt. Pauline Melanson? Did you check with them on how they identify? Wouldn’t a safer bet have been spokesperson? or their title?
Have you ever met a man named Pauline? Did you know that men with female body parts don’t exist either.
Yeah, no. Everyone is how they appear until they tell me otherwise.
