$20,000 in prizes stolen from LdB Ice Fishing Derby
The Lac du Bonnet Ice Fishing Derby is facing a significant setback as their storage trailer was broken into and over $20,000 worth of items were stolen.
Lac du Bonnet Ice Fishing Derby GM Darlene Lamoureux said a chain link fence was cut and their locked trailer broken into. The stolen prizes represent a substantial investment of time and money and were purchased in preparation for the 2027 event in February.
“We are incredibly disappointed that someone would target an event that is supported by so many volunteers, sponsors, businesses, families and members of our community,” the derby committee advised in a public statement. “We will work hard to overcome this and continue planning for the... derby. We appreciate everyone in the community keeping their eyes and ears open. Even one piece of information could help.”
The list of items is long and includes ice augers, folding ice shelters, numerous knives, muti-tools, fishing rods and reels, flashlights, binoculars and clothing. Lamoureux advised the amount of knives stolen and potentially out in the community is disturbing.
The Lac du Bonnet Ice Fishing Derby committee asks area residents to keep an eye open for anyone selling ice fishing related equipment, particularly new or unopened items or multiple identical items. Do not confront the seller or attempt to recover the property yourself. Instead, please contact the Lac du Bonnet RCMP through the police non-emergency line at 204-345-6311. Individuals with information, but would prefer to remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). When reporting suspicious items or listings, please provide as much information as possible, including photos, screen shots, names, locations, vehicle information or links to online listings.
