Shortly after, police say the two suspects were taken into custody.

RCMP say the suspects are aged 37 and 20, respectively, with the 37-year-old male suspect facing an attempted murder charge.

Both are due in court this week and also face numerous other charges in relation to a recent crime spree in southern Alberta.

According to Alberta Mounties, various RCMP detachments in Southern Alberta District have been investigating a spree of break and enters which occurred in January and February to golf courses and other businesses in several counties surrounding Calgary. Police say Cochrane Crime Reduction Unit was assigned the investigation on Jan. 30, 2024.

Mounties say the investigation identified a male and female who were believed to be responsible for the crimes and a suspect vehicle, a VW Jetta, was identified.

On Feb. 9, 2024, Cochrane CRU, with the assistance of SAD CRU and CPS TAC officers executed a search warrant at a northwest Calgary residence. During this search warrant, RCMP say a female was arrested and the following stolen property, along with other items, were seized:

• Laptops
• Motorcycles
• Firearms
• ID’s and ID counterfeiting equipment
• Tools and bikes
• Canadian currency
• Safes
• Golf accessories

As a result of these seizures, RCMP say they had the evidence to link the three suspects to the many break and enters they were investigating. The break and enters were at the following locations:

• Silver Willow Sporting Club in Mountain View County;
• Cottonwood Golf & Country Club in Foothills County;
• Sirocco Golf Course in Foothills County;
• Redwood Meadows Golf Course in Tsuut’ina;
• Priddis Greens Golf Course in Foothills County;

• Winter Green Golf Course in Rocky View County;
• Water Valley Saloon in Water Valley;
• Serenity Golf Club in Rocky View County;
• Kananaskis Country Golf Course in Kananaskis; and

Police say a third female, who was arrested at the residence, was charged with break and enter and possession of property obtained by crime over $5000. Mounties say she was released on an undertaking to appear in Alberta Court of Justice in Cochrane on March 12, 2024.
