The suspects remain unknown but are said to be male and driving a minivan, which RCMP believe to be a Chevrolet make.
鈥淭heir tactics were anything but subtle,鈥� states Cpl. Jesse O鈥橠onaghey, Media Relations Officer for the 琉璃神社 RCMP. 鈥淎fter loading an arc welder, a car jack and other tools into the van, the suspects haphazardly tied a generator to the rear of the vehicle and drove away from the scene.鈥�
Cpl. O鈥橠onaghey adds, 鈥渢he generator not only created a serious traffic hazard on the roadway, but the sparks it created from being dragged along the asphalt posed a significant risk of triggering a wildfire.鈥�
