Video shows lone man who broke into white and green tent like structure of Oliver Ready Mix on Wednesday night – getting away with up to $20 thousand worth of oil, grease, tools and other equipment.

Ford flat deck outside office building did the heavy lifting – police and staff believe more than one person involved. Took less than 15 minutes for security and police to respond to alarms.

Manager John Gibbs of Summerland says this is twice this year which means more security and cameras needed to act as preventative measures.

Thieves made off with about $20,000 worth of tools from an Oliver business this week.

RCMP received a report of the break, enter and theft at Oliver Readi-Mix at 10 p.m. Wednesday, according to Sgt. Blaine Gervais.

Between $10,000 and $20,000 of tools, equipment, oil, and grease were stolen.

What appears to be an older white 1980’s Ford flatdeck pickup with roof lights and board sidewalls was captured by surveillance during the theft.

Manager John Gibbs said he’s “just sick about the theft,” with this being the second break in this year at the business.

The first was this summer, when thieves made off with $2,000 worth of tools.

“There is a degree of rage,” he said. “It’s not going to put us out of business, but it’s a big loss.”
