RCMP arrest individuals responsible for home invasion in Clearwater County

Nov 14, 2017 | 8:33 AM

Two males have been arrested following a home invasion in Clearwater County.

Around 6 a.m. this past Saturday, Rocky Mountain House RCMP members responded to a break and enter and robbery with a firearm at a rural residence in Clearwater County where 12 firearms were stolen. 

The suspects allegedly entered the home, pointed a shotgun at the homeowner and threatened to shoot them. Shortly later, RCMP members located two males unknown to the homeowner and in possession of the stolen firearms.

Mounties have since arrested 43-year-old Garry Duncan Flett and 22-year-old Anthony Terrance Lalonde.

Both accused, who remain in custody, are jointly charged with 20 criminal charges including break and enter to a garage, break and enter to a dwelling house, theft over $5000, robbery using a firearm, uttering threats to kill, commit an offence while wearing a disguise and pointing a firearm. They are also both charged separately for several other criminal offences like failing to comply with probation, driving while unauthorized and failing to comply with a recognizance. 

RCMP continue to investigate.

If you have information about this investigation, call the Rocky Mountain House RCMP at 403-845-2882.
