La Ronge RCMP Probing Suspected Mail Theft
Monday, September 20, 2004 at 13:18
The La Ronge Post Office is the centre of an RCMP investigation.
Canada Post spokesman Brian Garagan confirms that the Mounties are looking into a suspected case of mail theft.
He won’t say anything more about the probe, other than the fact that Canada Post’s corporate security office was informed about the suspicions late last week and alerted the RCMP.
Sources have told MBC that Canada Post employees at the post office are not suspects in the investigation.
Garagan says he’s not aware of an investigation of this type taking place in northern Saskatchewan before.
He also says in most cases of mail theft, the stolen items are usually recovered.
