Kelowna coin collection theft

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 11 Sep, 2024 05:10 PM
  • Kelowna coin collection theft

The Kelowna R-C-M-P says it is looking for the rightful owner of a rare coin collection that was recovered during a traffic stop. 

They say the collection holds several collector's coins from over the years and police are certain someone in the community is missing them.

The Mounties say they released a photo of a portion of the collection to help the owner identify them, and will only accept proof of ownership for their return.

Police say they are turning to the public, as every other method of trying to locate the owner has failed.

Drones helped in big Vancouver arrest. It's time for policy scrutiny, researchers say
Canadian police forces have been using drones for many years, but scrutiny of their use is lacking, especially as the technology has evolved, privacy and surveillance researchers say.  Their concerns come after Vancouver's Chief Const. Adam Palmer revealed that investigators deployed drones to locate a suspect in a pair of gruesome stranger attacks in the city's downtown on Wednesday, that left one man dead and another with a severed hand.
