Smith as well as a hand-painted drum by local artist Greg Henderson. 

The local RCMP had a message for the culprits, reminding them of the consequences of their actions:

“We're hoping that the thieves can redirect their moral compass, as the charity is really just trying to get its art back,” said Constable Maury Tyre of the Campbell River RCMP. “The art can be returned no questions asked at this time, but if it comes down to the police completing the investigation and finding someone in possession of the missing pieces of art, charges could end up being sought for possession of property obtained by crime.” 

The art pieces can be returned to the Campbell River RCMP at their office at 275 S Dogwood Street, in Campbell River, BC. 

If you have any information regarding the theft of the art pieces or their possible location, you can contact the Campbell River RCMP at 250-286-6221.
