Brooks Alberta – Brooks RCMP are asking for the public’s assistance to locate a vehicle and two suspects after the attempted theft of a catalytic converter early in the morning of March 1st.
At approximately 11:00 Wednesday, March 1, 2023, witnesses observed a silver BMW sedan with Alberta license plate ZHB-846 pull up alongside of parked vehicle at 270 Aqueduct Drive, Brooks, AB. A male passenger of the BMW then slid underneath the parked vehicle and began to cut the catalytic converter out. Two witnesses intervened and a confrontation occurred resulting in the drivers side window of the suspect vehicle being broken. The suspects then fled the scene in the BMW before police arrived.
Earlier in the morning, before the theft, police had spotted the suspect during an unrelated investigation. At that time, license plate on the BMW was CND-8497. Investigators believe that the plate had been changed to aid in the theft of the catalytic converter. Brooks RCMP are currently looking for the involved vehicle and suspects, one of whom is known to police.
Residents are asked to report any sightings of the BMW which is described as;
– 2002 Silver BMW 325xi
– Drivers side window broken
– Sunroof
– Tinted tail lights
– The vehicle may have changed license plates but was seen bearing Alberta plates ZHB-846 and CND-8497
