RCMP in the province are looking for suspects in a crime spree that they say ranges from St. John’s to Lewisporte.
Police say it all started last Friday, when they received a report of the theft of a large number of grocery items from the Foodland in Glovertown.
The suspects were captured on surveillance video leaving in a beige Toyota truck.
The following day, that truck was found abandoned and damaged on the inside on the TCH near Gambo.
It was later discovered that the truck was stolen in St. John’s, sometime between Thursday night and Friday morning.
Then, police discovered that a red Mazda 3 was stolen from a residence in Gambo (license plate JFC 178), and other vehicles were broken into in the area.
Throughout the day police received reports of thefts from the Wal-Mart in Gander, the Shoppers Drug Mart in Lewisporte, and the Lewisporte Your Independent Grocer store.

Surveillance footage shows the stolen Mazda being used in the thefts.
At one point, police located the vehicle and tried to pull it over.
The vehicle was driving dangerously towards the TCH and police did not pursue due to safety concerns.
The vehicle was last spotted in Whitbourne earlier today, following the theft of gas from the Ultramar on the TCH.
The vehicle was said to be heading towards St. John’s.
There are two, possibly three suspects.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the RCMP at 1-800-222-8477, or Crime Stoppers.
