A series of break-ins and reports of trespassing in old abandoned buildings in Snowflake has prompted a safety warning from RCMP.

Pembina Valley RCMP say the reports are concerning, and have been coming in from local residents over the last few months.

“We want to remind the public that these buildings are owned, and entering them could result in criminal charges ranging from Break and Enter, Mischief and offences under The Trespass Act.” Said Constable Olivier Godin of Morden RCMP. “Along with potential charges, safety is also a concern as some of these buildings are not structurally sound and can be dangerous for anyone that enters.

Pembina Valley RCMP continue to investigate.

Police ask that any suspicious activity be reported to Pembina Valley RCMP at 204-822-4476.
