Feb 6, 2023 | 11:52 AM

Three Hills and Stettler RCMP say they are actively looking for an individual breaking into homes.

On Feb. 6, 2023 at 8:09 a.m., RCMP received a report of a break in and robbery to a home on Range Road 235 in Kneehill County. When the homeowner confronted the suspect, Mounties say the suspect held a small knife to the homeowner and fled. The homeowner received a minor cut as a result of the confrontation.

On Feb. 6, 2023, at 9:50 a.m., Stettler RCMP received a report of a break and enter to a home on Highway 56 in Stettler County. Police say the homeowner observed a suspect on their video surveillance cameras breaking into their home. The suspect is alleged to have stolen items from the victim’s garage and fled the area.

RCMP believe these two offences have been committed by the same individual and are asking for the public’s assistance.

The suspect is described as:

  • Male
  • Fair or medium complexion
  • Middle aged possibly in his 40’s
  • Grey Hair
  • Wearing a grey blue puffer jacket.

The vehicle the suspect is driving is described as:

  • Single cab pick up
  • Older model
  • Red in colour

As these offences just occurred, officers say they are actively looking for the suspect and vehicle.

RCMP are asking for the public assistance. If you have any information about this crime or those responsible, please contact Stettler RCMP at 403-742-3381 or Three Hills RCMP at 403-443-5538.

Mounties encourage the public to report any criminal or suspicious activity. RCMP say reports tell them where to look, who to look for, and where to patrol in the future.
