A 76-year-old New Brunswick man said he hopes his father’s irreplaceable war medals will be returned to him after they were stolen from his home while he was out receiving treatment for cancer.

Allan Colbourne said he was recently in Saint John for treatment for his prostate and colon cancers when his home in Plaster Rock, N.B. was burglarized.

The retired forest ranger said the thieves took his father’s five war medals along with several other items, including his television and chequebook. Cpl. Galienne Mathieu of the RCMP West District confirmed they’re actively investigating the case. Police said they believe it may be related to a fraud call they received last month when someone attempted to cash stolen cheques at a bank.
