Red Deer RCMP say over the past month, they have arrested a number of people in the act of breaking into businesses, garages and sheds. Many of these cases resulted in successful arrests.
“Red Deer’s Pinpoint crime reduction strategy uses analytics to identify current crime hot spots and peak times for criminal activity so we’re very purposefully putting police officers in those areas to deal with issues while they’re happening,” says Inspector Gerald Grobmeier. “These successful arrests during break and enters in progress are thanks to RCMP’s constant focus on the downtown and other crime hot spots, and thanks to the active support we get from those citizens who call in suspicious activity.”
September 19
Shortly after 8 p.m. on September 19, RCMP responded to a report of a possible break and enter in progress at a business in a light industrial area in north Red Deer, after the business owner chased a male suspect away from the property. RCMP attended and arrested the suspect after a brief foot chase. He was found to be in possession of a stolen credit card and other identification and was in breach of other court-imposed conditions.
