On February 19th at approximately 2 am Innisfail RCMP were alerted to an alarm at the Penhold Fas Gas. 
 
RCMP arrived and searched the property not noting any damage and no sign of entry. 
 
At approximately 3 am the store manager had arrived to check the business and noted some damage and called police to return. 
 
RCMP returned and the store manager unlocked the door, this time damages that were not present during the previous visit to the business were now obvious.
