A woman called the Squamish RCMP to report a break-and-enter into her home on Edgewater Drive. The homeowner said when she woke up, on Monday, Sept. 12, she noticed the patio furniture moved and her kitchen window ajar. The owner checked the home and found $80 missing from a wallet. She went downstairs into the garage and found the glove compartment of her vehicle was left open, but nothing else was taken. She was concerned because all the residents were asleep in the house when someone broke in. A neighbour told the police that he heard the sound of dropping tools at approximately 4:30 a.m.. He looked out the door but didn’t see anything suspicious. The file remains under investigation.
