2022 INCIDENT

Lacombe County resident sentenced in Daysland Bank break and enter

Apr 8, 2025 | 11:16 AM

An 18 month conditional sentence and $200 fine have been given to 31-year-old Nicholas Klinck, a Lacombe County resident, following his January trial in Edmonton Court of King’s Bench.

The initial incident took place on August 31, 2022, when Killam-Forestburg RCMP received a report of a break in at the Daysland Alberta Treasury Branch Bank. Members reported a great deal of damage and a stolen ATM, which an investigation revealed had been accomplished using a stolen Zoom Boom.

Suspects had cleared the scene when police arrived, but the investigation led to the arrest of Klinck and his co-accused, Tyler Patten, a 34-year-old Lacombe County resident, shortly after.

Patten was sentenced Sept. 5, 2023, to about 8.5 months with consideration of time already served.

Following his January trial, Klinck was found guilty on three of his 10 original charges, including possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000; failure to comply with release conditions; and obstructing a peace officer.

The remaining charges were dismissed or withdrawn, with the expection of the charge to break and enter to commit theft, of which he was found not guilty.
