Calgary police seeking public assistance in theft of $30,000 coin collection

The Calgary Police Service is seeking public assistance in a residential break and enter that took place last month, in which an expensive and rare coin collection was stolen.

Sometime between Thursday, Feb. 21, 2019 at approximately 8 p.m., and Friday, Feb. 22, 2019 at approximately 9 a.m., an unknown suspect(s) gained entry into a detached garage located at the 3000 block of 40 Street S.W.
