Police responded to the report of the break-in on March 8.

According to RCMP, the camps' rec hall is undergoing construction and was entered through the basement level.

Several thousand dollars worth of construction tools/equipment were stolen, including a Mikita and a Dewalt compound miter saw valued at $800 each, as well as a Nissan 9.8 outboard boat motor.

The theft occurred sometime between the hours 6 p.m. March 7 and 8 a.m. on March 8. RCMP say a vehicle was likely used in the commission of this offence as the tools were a large, heavy load.
