Battlefords RCMP have been able to offer some additional information on the break-in to the Battleford Post Office, however they are holding some information back for investigatory reasons.
Sunday morning, RCMP provided further clarification. An email from Pernell St. Pierre, Sgt., Watch No. 3 Commander, stated, "I can say at this time we are not sure what was taken from the post office. The post office staff will have to determine this and I can confirm there significant damage to the interior of the building. There is some hold back evidence that we are not going to disclose to protect the integrity of this investigation."
Sgt. Pernell said if the public has concerns about their mail, they should contact Canada Post directly as they will have specific information on individual mailboxes.
