Items related to seven break-ins and car prowlings around Calgary
Police are looking for someone who goes by the name Curtis after finding a plethora of stolen goods at a southwest home, including two RCMP uniforms, a duty belt, shoulder patches and handcuffs.
Officers were called to a home in the 5100 block of 35th Ave. S.W. on Sept. 1 after the people living there got into an argument with a passerby who had been searching through items left in the front yard, including televisions and overhead projectors.
The police were called and soon learned the items were stolen.
A search warrant was obtained for the house, where police found more stolen property relating to seven car prowlings and break-ins around Calgary as well as two outside the city.
Police believe the two RCMP uniforms, along with a duty belt, shoulder patches, baseball cap, handcuffs and a tuque, were stolen from a patrol vehicle May 18 but don't think they were used in any crimes.
An overhead light bar, traffic advisory light bar and an Alberta government fleet fuel credit card stolen from a surplus yard in Edmonton were also found in the house.
Police are now searching for a man who goes by the first name Curtis.
Anyone with information is asked to call police at 403-266-1234 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
