Crime Stoppers and the Gatineau Police Service are seeking your assistance in identifying the suspects involved in the break and entry and subsequent theft from a Canadian Tire Gas Bar located on Maloney Boulevard West in Gatineau.

During the night of January 14, 2007 suspects forced their way into the Canadian Tire Gas Bar located at 399 Maloney Boulevard West in Gatineau. Access was gained through the door on the west side of the building where the bathroom was situated. Once inside the thieves proceeded to cut the wires of the security system and went directly to the safe. Using a grinder the thieves gained entry into the safe and removed a considerable sum of money and Canadian Tire money. In addition they made off with a number of Loto-Quebec lottery tickets before making their way towards the counter and removing about 1000 packets of cigarettes and a Dell computer. The thieves then left the Gas Bar, most likely by the same method as they gained entry. No other door had been opened.
