Overview

  • Halifax Regional Police say two suspects arrived in a vehicle, a masked passenger took two framed jerseys, and they drove away with no injuries reported and no patrons inside.
  • The pub posted video to Facebook showing a car backing to the entrance and the thief making two rapid trips from the foyer to load the jerseys into the trunk.
  • Owner Jamie Latter says the Crosby Penguins and MacKinnon Avalanche jerseys were bought at a Cole Harbour auction, valued at roughly $3,000 to $4,000.
  • Latter believes the security brackets were likely loosened in advance; management says a staff member saw the theft, the venue briefly closed, and a reward is under consideration.
  • Accounts differ on timing, with management citing about 8:30 p.m. near closing and police reporting approximately 9:20 p.m., as the investigation continues with no arrests announced.
