Conditional sentence for Edmonton man convicted of threatening, harassing Red Deer real estate agents

According to police, the calls were said to have been made by an unknown male who made threatening and sexual comments.

At the same time, Calgary Police Services’ Cyber/Forensics Unit began investigating similar offences reported in that municipality.

A joint investigation led to charges against Kyle Shave of Edmonton, who was originally charged with 35 counts:

Harassing communications x 22

Indecent communications

Uttering threats x 12

“This arrest underscores our unwavering commitment to the safety and well-being of our communities. No one should have to endure threats, harassment or malicious phone calls while carrying out their work,” said Cst. Amanda Burke, Red Deer RCMP GIS, following the announcement of Shave’s charges.

“This kind of behaviour is unacceptable, and we will continue to take action to ensure that everyone can perform their duties in a safe and secure environment.”

Sgt. Ryan Nolan of the Calgary Police Service Cybercrime Team, added, these types of crimes commonly see individuals using technology to victimize individuals from multiple different jurisdictions.

“Working with other law enforcement agencies is key in addressing these crimes,” he said. “In this case, investigators were able to work together with the RCMP to collect important digital evidence, which ultimately led to these charges.”
