A teenage boy in Lloydminster is alleged responsible for a break-in at a cannabis store and the theft of more than $15,000 worth of merchandise.

Early Tuesday morning, RCMP responded to an alarm at the south-side business, finding it had been broken into and items stolen.

Later that day, police executed a search warrant at a house in the 1800 block of 49th Avenue. The teen was arrested and the stolen goods were recovered.

He has been charged with break-and-entry, possession of stolen property over $5,000, three counts of failing to comply with release orders, and five counts of failing to comply with probation orders.

The teen was brought before a Justice of the Peace and subsequently released on a Release Order. Due to the Youth Criminal Justice Act, his identity remains confidential. He is scheduled to appear at the Alberta Court of Justice on Dec. 3.
