There was a puzzling robbery in Campbell River over the weekend.

Sometime overnight Friday, December 9th, someone stole decorations from a lawn display from a highly decorated neighbourhood just north of the City, on Dolly Varden Road.

Police are requesting the public's assistance in possibly identifying the suspect.

All told the decoration bandit made off with 30 illuminated Candy Cane lawn ornaments and an illuminated 5ft wire framed deer ornament.

Constable Maury Tyre with Campbell River RCMP says “Our hope is that someone may know this Grinch and convince them to let their heart grow five sizes and return the items to their rightful place.”

If you have information that could identify the culprit, contact the Campbell River RCMP or call Crime Stoppers.
