Far North Outfitters burglarized
NED NEWTON | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 1 year, 2 months AGO
A suspect remains at large after a July 11 burglary of Far North Outfitters.
According to the Bonner Ferry Police Department, someone broke through the glass in the front door, but only took one item from the store, a lever-action .22 Mare’s Leg pistol. 
The item costs $379 at Far North Outfitters, significantly less expensive than most other firearms in the store, including the rifles displayed directly next to it.
According to the BFPD, the suspect damaged the front door and entered the store between 3:55 and 4:13 a.m. on July 11, wearing all dark clothing and gloves. 
Surveillance footage shows the burglar suspect exiting the store with the large pistol and running from the scene toward El Paso Street.
BFPD is asking anyone with video surveillance in the area to check cameras for anything suspicious that occurred in the early morning of July 11.
Please contact the non-emergency dispatch number at 208-267-3151 and reference case number 02- 2025-00239 with any information.
