Salmon Arm RCMP are asking for public assistance in a number of vandalism and thefts from numerous

In all of these cases mailboxes were knocked over or damaged.
In the 280 block of 10th Ave SE, a mailbox was damaged and individuals were able to gain entry which resulted in four separate mailboxes being compromised. It is unknown at this time if any mail was taken.
