Lacombe Police are investigating two suspected break and enters from over the weekend.

In the first case, they say they’re investigating a break, enter and mischief from a car dealership in the 5600 block of Hwy 2A.

Members responded Dec. 8 to a report that an unknown suspect had gained entry to a locked compound behind the dealership sometime over the weekend.

A suspect or suspects cut through a section of the chain-link fence to access secured areas.

Once inside the compound, they damaged a vehicle by drilling into the gas tank and stealing fuel, police allege.
