On May 27th 2013 a property representative for the St Edwards Anglican Church located on Nicola Street, Oliver reported that at some point overnight the Church had been broken into. The thief / thieves took a significant amount of time and effort to enter the church. Once inside approximately $1100 in tithes/offerings was taken from a locked cabinet. All cabinets were rummaged through and there was some damage to Church property. Some local youth were seen in the area between 10 and 11 PM however they may not necessarily have been involved considering that this is a common gathering place for some of our young people.
