“He was on a four-wheeler!” is still surprised by Chantal Raymond, manager of the place, who handed over the images from the surveillance camera to the authorities. The object would have been found, emptied of its contents, in Sainte-Perpétue, around twenty kilometers further. The Sûreté du Québec has opened an investigation.
The criminal did not lack motivation. We can even suspect the thug of having a certain expertise in construction and demolition, as the journey leading him to the safe turned out to be complex and laborious.
“He took the time to unscrew the sheet metal on the roof, he folded it, he went in between the two… He walked in the attic, he made holes until he found the office. He smashed four or five places in the ceiling… He cut a water pipe while looking for the place. It caused us water damage,” says Chantal Raymond.

With a safe under his arm, the vandal also allegedly stole a load of cigarettes before setting off aboard his machine. The manager of the business does not comment on the contents of the safe, other than to say that there was “money and the lottery”.
The police report that a citizen located the safe lying empty and ripped open in a ditch in Sainte-Perpétue, Monday, in the middle of the day.
Chantal Raymond circulated photos captured by the surveillance camera on social networks. We see the thief wearing a black and blue motorcycle helmet. Unusual detail: he is also wearing espadrilles bearing a pound symbol.
