The Lacombe Police Service (LPS) says it is investigating a break and enter to a construction trailer resulting in the theft of several high-value tools.

On June 20, 2025, at approximately 3:40 a.m., LPS says three suspects were captured on video surveillance breaking into a construction trailer belonging to Grayson Excavating. Police say the trailer was parked at a work site in the parking lot of Leto’s Steakhouse & Bar.

LPS says several Milwaukee-brand tools were stolen, including batteries, saws, and other power tools. The estimated value of the stolen property is between $800 and $1,500.

Through video surveillance and investigative efforts, Lacombe Police have identified the suspects. All three individuals are known to police and currently reside in Calgary. LPS says warrants for their arrest will be sought as the investigation continues.

Lacombe Police remind the public and local contractors to secure their equipment and work sites whenever possible. They acknowledge the theft of tools and equipment can cause significant disruption to operations and financial hardship for businesses.
