Numerous thefts from an 鈥榟onour鈥 system fridge at a family farm in Vernon have gone on long enough.

On June 20, the Vernon North Okanagan RCMP were made aware of an alleged theft that took place from a farm located on Redwing Road. Owners of the farm advised police that a male entered the honour system fridge, located on the property, helped himself to a dozen eggs and allegedly left without putting payment into the jar. Approximately three days later, the same male returned and reportedly took over $100 worth of organic meat from the fridge. The bandit has been identified by the farm as 鈥減refers smokies.鈥

鈥淪ince the first report made to police, the same male has returned to the property four additional times and collected various items from the fridge including meat and eggs, without leaving any sort of payment behind,鈥 said Cst. Kelly Brett. 鈥淭o a small local farm, thefts like this can be devastating and may jeopardize the way the farm continues to conduct business.鈥

An additional suspect has now been identified in one of the thefts from the farm, however the police are seeking further assistance in identifying the male seen in the surveillance footage.

鈥淲e are confident with the media and public鈥檚 assistance we will be able to identify the male seen in the surveillance video,鈥 adds Brett.
