Sweeper Stolen from the Winston Heights-Mountview Community Association Rink
At approximately 5am on Saturday January 14, 2017 a sweeper (Ariens 24” sweeper, model 920014 with an NCE Enterprises Inc. decal) was stolen from the Winston Heights-Mountview Community Association Rink. This is used by community volunteers to help clear the ice at the outdoor rink. The Calgary Police Service has been notified but any information to track down the sweeper would be great!
In the bottom picture you can see a stock photo of the sweeper. Additionally, we have included 2 pictures from our security cameras, of a black truck of interest, driving into and then leaving the storage area:
Above: Truck driving in with decal clearly visible.
Below: Truck driving out, with what appears to be the sweeper in question high lighted in red.
If you have any information you can contact us directly at 403-681-9142 or by email: communications@winstonheights.ca or reach out to the Calgary Police Service: 403-266-1234

By making a donation, you are making a difference in the lives of neighbours and friends. Winston Heights Mountview Community Association will place boxes in the lobby of the main hall and we encourage community association members, guests, renters, and other visitors to make your donations there in the next few weeks.
We challenge our WHMCA committees to find a way to make the donation personal. Perhaps the Mums’ groups could donate baby food or diapers and the Community Garden team could donate tinned vegetables. Facilities and Operations might take on soap and detergent and even toilet tissue. Send an email to communications@winstonheights.ca to let us know how you have taken on the challenge.

HOME INVASION – Information wanted
November 23, 2016
On November 16th a theft was committed at 508 24 Avenue NE (address used at request of homeowner) and was interrupted by the homeowner between 10:15 a.m. and 10:45 a.m. Unfortunately she did not realize that the noise she heard in the house was not her family and so the person (female wearing an orange sweater) escaped (in a newish looking burgundy Dodge Ram truck) with all of her identification among other things. The family is working with the police and with the assistance of the credit card company and the organizations where the thief made purchases using the cards, so they have a good chance of apprehending the person.
They are not sure if this was a theft of opportunity because one of the doors was wide open but was not broken. She would like to warn neighbours that the robbery took place in the morning. If anyone has information or has also been robber recently please email communications@winstonheights.ca and I will forward that information on to the family/police so we might be able to provide better information.
