On Sunday, March 23, 2008 at approximately 9:30 pm Vernon RCMP received a report that 11 rooms had been broken into at a local hotel. All of the rooms were associated to either team members taking part in the Ford Women's World Curling Championships, or people traveling with one of the teams. The suspect entered the rooms between 3:30 and 4:40 pm, but the offences were not discovered until later in the night. How the suspect defeated the rooms lock-system is still under investigation. The suspect stole approximately $10,000 in Canadian and foreign currency. The suspect also stole a team shirt and a team jacket belonging to a member of the Italian team's coaching staff. At this point it appears the suspect was specifically targeting the rooms of the curling teams. Images of the male suspect have been obtained through the hotel's security video and efforts are underway to attempt to identity the suspect. They are posted below as attachments.
