Strathcona County RCMP are asking for the public’s help to gather information on the theft of four plaques from a memorial southeast of Edmonton in late November.
RCMP said at some point between 5 a.m. and 5 p.m. on November 24, four plaques were stolen from the Legion of Frontiersmen War Memorial, located on Highway 14 and Range Road 205.
Police said the monument is recognized provincially and nationally as a historical monument, and is also a regional landmark for those in the area.
The first plaque states: “Dedicated to the memory of Frontiersmen who fell in the Great War 1914-1918, erected by their comrades July 1935.”
The second plaque reads: “In memory of those who fell during the Second World War.”
The other plaques commemorate Dominion Commandants, Brigadier A. Mack, (Oct. 5, 1898 – Oct. 9, 1990) and Colonel Lewis Scott (died 1965).
Anyone with information that could help police in their investigation is asked to call Strathcona County RCMP at 780-467-7741, or call your local police.
Anonymous tips can be submitted to Crime Stoppers by calling 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
