Thieves tried to break into the pro shop at Rivershore by cutting a hole in the wall. Their nefarious bid was as unsuccessful as a David Duval entry in any tournament post-2002.
Kamloops Mounties are looking for a group of sub-par crooks who shanked an attempt to steal golf clubs and cash after cutting a hole in the wall of a Kamloops golf course pro shop.
RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush said Mounties were called to the Rivershore Golf Links pro shop at about 2 a.m. on Tuesday. By the time officers arrived, the suspects had taken off empty-handed.
Bush said the would-be thieves cut a hole in the wall of the building to gain entry before covering the motion detectors inside. Despite their efforts, the alarm was tripped and police were dispatched.
Inside the pro shop, Mounties found golf clubs bundled together and noticed attempts had been made to get into Rivershore’s safe.
Investigators believe the suspects had a lookout — possibly on Lafarge Bridge — to tip them off about police arrival.
“They had obviously made some efforts to leave with a bunch of golf clubs,” Bush said. “Something definitely scared them off because they didn’t finish their job.”
Bush said investigators want to speak to anyone who saw anything suspicious near Rivershore or Lafarge Bridge early Tuesday morning.
