RCMP Report: Break-ins continue, possible connections

Jul 8, 2022 | 11:00 AM

Police in the Battlefords continue to investigate possible connections between multiple thefts in the area.

There were more than 30 investigations in the previous two and a half weeks, a few of which resulted in arrests.

On June 27, a break and enter was reported at a home on the 1400 block of 93^rd St. in the evening. Later that night, a 47-year-old man and a 29-year-old woman were arrested and charged after being found with stolen property relating to this break-in. A search warrant was also executed on the suspect’s home the following date and additional charges may be coming.

“We’ve been able to link them to some of the other B-and-E’s we have listed,” Sgt. Neil Tremblay said. “So, we’re expecting additional charges.”

Two days prior, a 49-year-old man was arrested in relation to a break and enter to a business on Railway Avenue East. The accused has since been released and is scheduled to appear in court later this summer.
