St-Pierre-Jolys RCMP are currently looking for a male suspect in connection to a recent theft incident that occurred in the Rural Municipality of Hanover.
On April 13, 2022, at approximately 3:35pm, St-Pierre-Jolys RCMP responded to a report of a theft in progress near the intersection of Highway 59 and Highway 52 in the RM of Hanover. Police say that a catalytic converter from a parked vehicle was being stolen by a male suspect.
RCMP subsequently received a report stating that the suspect returned to his vehicle and fled the scene with the caller following. The information was relayed to officers from St-Pierre-Jolys and Steinbach RCMP who then responded to the area in an attempt to locate the vehicle.
