A reward is being offered, and some new information is coming to light, in the case of the stolen golden eagle.
Ron Shore, who owns the multi-million dollar statue, is offering a $10,000 reward for information that leads to its return. He confirmed that it is currently valued at $7 million CAD.
The statue was stolen at around 10 p.m. on May 29 in the 4700-block of 57th Street in Ladner. Police this week confirmed they are looking for two suspects and two vehicles in the case, a black or dark blue large SUV, similar to a GMC Yukon, and a smaller red or burgundy SUV, similar to a Hyundia Santa Fe.
Shore said he was approached as he was walking to his car. He said he was hit over the head before a suspect grabbed the bag containing the statue and a second bag containing a decoy.
He said he gave chase and was dragged several metres after grabbing onto the suspect's car.
Det. Brad Cooper said investigators are still reviewing witness statements and surveillance footage. Anyone with any information is asked to call police at 604-946-4411.
