During the time they were waiting for a later bus, they entered a vehicle parked at the arena and stole the gun and equip- ment. The two men then got onto the bus and were later thrown off approximately 40 kilometres west of Terrace Bay for fighting with each other . Police say Constable Smeltzer had had previous dealings with these two men earlier the same day before the theft occurred. When Smeltzer received the call of the theft, he believed the same two men.were responsible.
