A Calgary business is sharing surveillance footage of a brazen theft in hopes of identifying a man who made off with around $5,000 worth of meat products.
The break and enter took place at Pre Pak Meats in the 4800 block of 32 Street S.E. on Monday evening.
The business is a small distributor that sells to local restaurants, golf courses and mom-and-pop-type butcher shops.
"We're a family-run business," said Mark Leavitt, vice president of operations.
"We have employees that have mouths and families to feed. The impact to us… it's more frustrating than anything else. It's violating."
CCTV footage from both inside and outside the business captured the theft.
The footage shows a man with a hammer smash a window to gain entry to the business at around 10 p.m.
