On April 16th at 3:14 a.m. Treherne RCMP received a call about a break and enter in progress at a rural residence in the RM of Norfolk Treherne. A homeowner living on Hwy 244 was wakened by an alarm, and discovered an older model GMC pick-up truck outside the home. The vehicle left the area quickly where occupants are believed to have fired several gun shots to prevent any pursuit by the homeowner. No one was injured, but another pick-up truck was damaged as a result of the would-be thieves' attempt to steal the vehicle.

The same suspects are believed to have been involved with the theft of an ATV from the Lavenham area. In that incident a red/black 2013 Polaris Scrambler was stolen from the garage of a home on 3rd Street in Lavenham.

Investigators are asking for the assistance of the community in identifying the suspects or the vehicle involved.
