SERVING MISSION SINCE 1908
Charitable donations stolen Thieves break into the Mission branch of the Canadian Cancer Society Kevin Mills Mission Record
There has been another break-in in the Mission area and this time the Canadian Cancer Society is the victim. Late Saturday night, thieves smashed the front door of Mission Barbers on Logan Ave. After obtaining a small amount of cash from the barbershop, the intruders then smashed through the wall into the adjacent empty store and punched a hole
into that wall to get inside the Cancer Society office. The thief or thieves appear to have crawled through the small hole and ransacked the charity’s office. The intruders managed to steal gift cards, donated prizes and some cash. According to Allen Mugford, the regional director for the Canadian Cancer Society, when you factor in the damage done to the building as well as the items and cash
stolen, the break-in will cost the charity about $3,500. “It’s unfortunate that a charity, which is trying to support the community and the cancer causes is targeted,” said Mugford. Most of the items taken were “gifts of the community” and were supposed to be auctioned off at next week’s Robbie Burns’ Supper and Dance fundraisers. Despite the theft, Jimmy Logan, president of the Mission location of the Canadian
Cancer Society, said the fundraiser, set for Jan. 23 at Chartwell Cedarbrook Retirement Residence, will continue. The event supports pediatric cancer research and Camp Goodtimes which is for children with cancer. Tickets to the event are $40 and are available by calling 604820-3166 Mission RCMP are investigating the crime but no suspects have been identified at this time. Continued on A5
