On October 22, 2025, at approximately 7:15 am, Shoal Lake RCMP were advised of a break-in at the Strathclair Fire Hall where significant damage was caused inside.
In addition to the damage, the suspects stole a truck, trailer and UTV.
The investigation determined that suspects fled westbound on highway 16. Police later located the abandoned trailer hauling the UTV on the side of the road, approximately a half a mile outside of Russell.
The stolen truck, that was towing both items, was also recovered in a parking lot in a business in Russell.
Shoal Lake and Russell RCMP have obtained photos of the two suspects who were last seen driving a white motorhome with a decal on the top.
