Andrew Post Office suffers three break-ins within five days

BY JANA SEMENIUK

The Andrew Postal outlet suffered three break-ins within five days last week.

Sergeant Robert Daisley with the Two Hills RCMP Detachment said his department received a call reporting the first break-in on Jan. 9.

“The post office area where the boxes are, somebody had gone in and pried open five or six boxes there. I don't know if anything was taken from those boxes. But the post office says they’re notifying the people who own those boxes, and those people will have to keep a close eye out to see if there's anything that's impor- tant that went missing,” he said.

The second break-in was reported Jan. 10 and a third Jan. 12. Daisley said the Post Office has had no choice but to lock up the lobby at night.

“My understanding is that they're planning to lock the lobby at night, so that people can't go in there. Obviously, its inconvenient for other people who want to get their mail but probably provides a better safeguard for everybody,” he said.

Daisley said if anyone has any information on the break-ins to the Andrew Post Office to please contact the Two Hills RCMP detachment.
