Manitoba RCMP seek stolen 25-foot-high windmill

Manitoba RCMP say a windmill was stolen from a property in the RM of Grey earlier this month.

Officers from the Carman detachment were called on the morning of July 7 about the theft, which police believe happened between July 4 and 6.

Police said it’s likely someone may have noticed the missing 25-foot-high silver windmill, which includes a six-foot blade.

“Something this size, if anyone out there would recall seeing someone transporting a windmill, we would definitely like to speak to those people and see where they saw it, how they saw it, and things like that,” Sgt. Darcy Thiessen told 680 CJOB.

“There’s not a lot of parts to be used on there… maybe someone just thought it would be a nice decoration to use on a rural property somewhere — I don’t really know what else it would be used for. (The owner) was using it to aerate a rural pond.”
