The Hope RCMP is asking for the public’s help in locating a set of framed First World War medals stolen from the Hope United Church.
According to police, a framed set of four to six medals were stolen from the church sometime in November. They discovered the medals were missing after receiving a report that the church had been broken into.
“These medals carry significant historical and sentimental value,” said Cst. Jayson Gill. “We are asking anyone who may have information about this incident or saw suspicious activity near the church over the past several weeks to contact us.”
No other items were reported stolen.
The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information is asked to call the Hope RCMP at 604-869-7750. People wishing to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
