Vernon RCMP say, they have video surveillance tape of a man suspected to be responsible for robbing the athletes competing in the World Women's Curling Championship. Staff Sergeant Cam Percy says, the thief who they're still working to identify, specifically targeted 11 rooms of the curling teams. "How the male defeated the lock system is something we're still investigating." Police say, 10 thousand dollars was stolen including, Swiss Francs, Yen and Swedish Krona, as well an Italian team members shirt and jacket. Police say, the break and enters occurred between 3:30 and 4:40pm on Sunday. Tobi Oswald Felker with the Curling Championship Organizing Committee says, the robberies are devastating. "Obviously the entire committee and the volunteers are devastated. It's not something you ever want to happen at your event." Oswald-Felker says, the committee will be meeting today to see if there's some way to help the teams who were robbed.
