Fort Simpson RCMP are requesting public assistance to identify three suspects involved in an alleged break and enter.

Between 2:20 am and 2:40 am, on the morning of Tuesday, August 3, three young men appeared to break through the front glass door of the Northern Store Gas Station utilizing what appears to be a tire iron. They proceeded to take merchandise including chips, drinks and flavoured rolling papers.

RCMP attended the scene and were able to obtain several still photos from the store's security footage.

The suspects wore face masks or covers. All three wore dark grey and black clothing. One suspect had a blue backpack with a white logo on the back, and a grey hoodie with a white logo on the front centre chest and at the neck line (similar to a sports team hoodie).

Fort Simpson RCMP are asking anyone with information on this alleged break and enter, or who saw suspicious activity the morning of August 3, to call the RCMP at 695-1111 or text Crimestoppers at "nwtnutips" plus your message to 274637.

"Property crime is concerning and we would like to identify these suspects so that they can be held accountable for their alleged actions in the store" states Cst Brent Young, Fort Simpson RCMP.
