Trial dates scheduled for Lacombe County man charged in bank break-in

Oct 12, 2023 | 10:32 AM

Trial dates have been scheduled for one of two Lacombe County men charged following a break-in at a bank in Daysland last year.

Nicholas Avin Klinck, 30, is scheduled for trial in Wetaskiwin Court of King’s Bench from Jan. 6-17, 2025.

RCMP say it was about 4:15 a.m. on August 31, 2022, when Killam-Forestburg detachment members received a report of a break and enter to the Daysland ATB Financial branch.

When police arrived, the suspects had already fled. However, investigation determined they had used a recently stolen Zoom Boom piece of machinery to access the bank, stealing an ATM, and causing a great deal of damage, police say.

Early in the investigation, the Central Alberta District Crime Reduction Unit identified individuals who they believed were involved in the crime. As a result, and with the help of the RCMP Helicopter, two individuals were arrested, and parts of the ATM, significant amounts of currency, vehicles, and other stolen items were recovered.
