The RCMP is asking for tips about a vehicle allegedly stolen Dec. 24 from New Brunswick.

The vehicle was recovered later that same day by the Queens District RCMP and is described as a grey, 1984 GMC Rally camper van, model G2500.
“Police are aware that another vehicle had stopped to help a man trying to get the vehicle started after (the stolen van) had broken down on the south side of Route #1, facing East in Bonshaw around 3:00 - 3:30 p.m. on the day of the theft,” said a police statement.

“A witness observed a car parked at the front of the van, apparently providing assistance,” police said.

The RCMP is asking for that person who provided assistance to give a call to the nearest detachment, as well as anyone else who has knowledge of this alleged crime.

To give a tip directly to a police officer about this case, please call Queens District RCMP at 902-368-9300..

On the other had, to give a tip, but remain anonymous and possibly qualify for a cash reward, contact Crime Stoppers, either on the Internet and follow the various ways to make a tip, including through Facebook, or with a toll-free, anonymous phone call to 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).
