Oatlands bakery robbed for the fourth time

Oatlands Bakery was broken into for the fourth time in two years on Saturday. In the previous burglaries  only flour, oil and other supplies were stolen, but this time thieves got into the main office upstairs and managed to wrench open a safe containing money, documents and various other valuables.

Oatlands Bakery was broken into for the fourth time in two years on Saturday. In the previous burglaries  only flour, oil and other supplies were stolen, but this time thieves got into the main office upstairs and managed to wrench open a safe containing money, documents and various other valuables.

Owner Ivan Stevens said the perpetrators got in through an upstairs window after bending the burglar bars.

They used Stevens’s own tools to pull the safe off the wall and then exited through the window and onto the roof of a nearby building.

When Stevens arrived at the bakery the day after the break-in, he immediately called the police. “They were fairly swift and I am satisfied with them,” he said.

Stevens said that the alley between Oatlands Bakery and Pep Stores acts as an escape route for criminals and is one of the reasons they get away with it.

“I  might take it up with the city council or municipality to close it off with gates at night,” he said. None of the burglars from previous thefts at Oatlands Bakery have ever been caught, but Stevens believes that there may be some hope of finding the thieves in this case.
