Prince George RCMP are reminding gun owners to make sure their firearms are being stored properly after a Miworth home lost five handguns and matching magazines to a break and enter.
RCMP said it appears the break-in occurred sometime during the day on Monday and that a gun safe where the items had been stored was pried open.
“Guns were clearly targeted in this break-and- enter,” said Cst. Jennifer Cooper. “Every gun owner should take all precautions to secure their firearms and should refrain from discussing locations and details of their guns with others.”
A member of the public found one of the guns Tuesday. Police said it was hidden away in some garbage in an alleyway and may have been stored there for future use.
