A suspect fled RCMP on Nov. 5, leaving behind stolen goods.

Cp. Brock Hedrick said Merritt RCMP responded to a suspicious persons complaint at Bench Elementary School, noting that a suspect was handling a large object.

Upon police attending, the suspect fled the scene on foot and could not be located.

Police then noticed a large Honda generator, which they believe to be stolen.

If this generator may be yours or belong to someone you know, please contact the local RCMP detachment.
