An RCMP press release says that on Nov. 7, at around 6:20 a.m., police attended to a report of a break and enter at the Fernie Subway at 441 Crowsnest Highway.
“The complainant reports coming to the business in the morning to open and finding the front door smashed in and some items missing, including the business safe,” the release says, adding that officers arrived on scene and cleared the business.
“It appears that, after entry was gained, the unknown suspects headed directly to the (cash) register and safe and removed (them).”
Upon review of the securty camera footage, it was learned that the suspects entered the business at 9:35 p.m. on Nov. 6, the previous evening, and went directly for the cash register and safe.

“It is highly probable given the time the break and enter occurred that there are witnesses who saw something suspicious at that location, the SW corner of Fifth Street and Highway 3 at Canada’s Best Value Inn and Suites.”
“Elk Valley Regional RCMP seeks the public’s assistance in seeing if anyone saw anything suspicious around the Fernie Subway on the night of November 6th between the hours of 9 PM and 10 PM.”
