Thieves hit competitors hotel at Women’s Curling Championship
Winnipeg Sun :VERNON, B.C. — Several teams competing at the Ford World Women’s Curling Championship had valuables stolen from their rooms when thieves broke into the team hotel sometime Sunday afternoon. “We are devastated that this has happened to our international visitors and have made every effort to support them where needed,” host committee chairman Rob Pringle said in a statement. The World Curling Federation, the Canadian Curling Association, the Prestige Hotel and the athletes have been advised by the RCMP not to comment on the incident. The RCMP plans to issue a release tomorrow. Team Canada’s Jennifer Jones is not staying at the team hotel as she had accepted an offer from a local developer to house her team and its families in a condo just outside of town.
