A break-in occurred early Wednesday morning at Joe's Sports and Surplus, 40 Queen St. East.
Owner Dave Edgar says the burglary happened just before 6 a.m.
Lincoln Louttit, manager of corporate communications, planning and research at Sault Ste. Marie Police Service, says police were notified at 7:49 a.m. and the matter is under investigation.
"This was planned," Edgar said Wednesday evening in a social media post. "It hurts getting kicked while you're down."
Edgar says there are two suspects, one wearing a plaid jacket, and a female wearing camouflage tights and a light-coloured puffy jacket.
"They stole over $6,000 in just over a few minutes," he says.
Edgar is asking his customers to watch out for these products:
- men's Outdoor Research down jackets in blue
- women's Outdoor Research down jackets in pink
- men's North Face three-in-one jackets in asphalt grey and also in orange
- men's and ladies' Choko heated gloves
- wide selection of Nebo LED flashlights and True Utility multitools.
"If anyone hears anything please PM me or call Crime Stoppers," Edgar says.
