Beer Store Theft Update

Thunder Bay police are trying to determine if two men charged with driving a Jeep into a Beer Store are responsible for other break-ins at beer and liquor stores using thesame heavy-handed method.

A 30-year-old and a 20-year-old are charged with breaking and entering and possession of stolen property.

What police do know is that a pickup was stolen early on Monday but it broke down so thieves then stole a Jeep.

The Jeep was used to drive through a Beer Store window where up to 10 cases were taken.

Police were already investigating a robbery at an L-C-B-O just before Christmas where thieves smashed through the window with a pickup and stole four 60-ouncers of rum.
