QUYON – The Egan Mill in Quyon was broken into during the night of August 28. When owners and staff arrived the next morning, they found a door had been forced open. Police were immediately alerted, and the investigation is ongoing.
“All doors were locked and secured. We didn’t think something like this would happen in our area,” said Katia Veilleux, marketing director for the Mill. “We are taking all the precautions.”
Because the investigation is still active, Veilleux said she could not share many details. However, she emphasized that the mill’s team is strong and resilient, and that the mill remains open for business.
“I think businesses should take precautions. Our doors were locked and this still happened,” Veilleux added. “We love and support our community, and we are going to stick together.”
The MRC des Collines police service was unable to provide a response by press time.
The Egan Mill, a local landmark, includes a museum and café. It is located at 5 Rue Egan in Quyon.
