Manitoba RCMP are investigating after a pickup truck was used to ram a business storefront in Thompson early Monday.
Police were called at around 3:40 a.m. to a reported break and enter involving a vehicle at a business on Selkirk Avenue. Officers found the storefront window completely smashed, with broken glass throughout the building. Surveillance footage showed a pickup truck with an Ontario licence plate ramming the window, stealing items, and fleeing the scene.
