Missing a ring? Police have eight ladies rings which they took off a man who could not explain why he had them.

Police suspect the rings were stolen from either a jewelry store or during a break and enter.

“One of our general duty patrol officers located these rings during a traffic stop. The rings all appear to belong to a female, or a number of women, and the suspect could not explain why he was in possession of them,” said Ridge Meadows Cpl. Alanna Dunlop.

“We’re asking for anyone who has recently had women’s rings stolen, to speak with our investigator and see if any of these rings belong to them,” Dunlop added.

In addition, police are asking any jewelry store owners to contact them if they know anything about these rings.

The rings will be held for three months at the Ridge Meadows RCMP detachment. Contact Const. Lewis Walker at 604-463-6251.

Officer switches roles

A Ridge Meadows RCMP officer changed roles early Thursday morning, and put out a fire that was in front of Fire Hall #3.

The officer was patrolling near the 203rd Street hall around 3 a.m. on Nov. 29, when a citizen notified him of the fire.

“The officer used a fire extinguisher to put out the blaze, which appears to be suspicious in nature,” said Dunlop.

“The fire hall was not damaged, and the incident is under investigation by both Maple Ridge Fire Department and Ridge Meadows RCMP,” she added.

Anyone with any information regarding this incident is asked to contact either the police at 604-463-6251, or Maple Ridge Fire Department at 604-463-5880.
