Two Ponoka men are facing charges following a break and enter to a local grocery store.

On Dec. 26, 2021, Ponoka RCMP received a complaint of an alarm at the IGA on 50 St in Ponoka.

While RCMP were en-route, they located one of the suspects who, after a short foot pursuit, was arrested. Mounties say a second suspect was followed to a nearby residence where police located and arrested him a short time later.

A 51 year-old man has been charged with break and enter, possession of break in instruments, and resist arrest. Meanwhile, a 21 year-old man has been charged with break and enter, and possession of break in instruments.

Police say both individuals have been released on bail with their next court appearance set for Jan. 7, in Ponoka.
