Red Deer RCMP make arrest during break and enter in progress

A local man is facing charges after Mounties arrested a suspect during a break and enter in progress last week.

On Jan. 21, 2026, at 7:52 a.m. Red Deer RCMP responded to a break and enter in progress at a residence in the Highland Green Estates area of Red Deer. Officers arrived almost immediately and say they observed a masked male inside the residence.  

Police gained entrance to the residence and say the male fled through a balcony door attempting to evade officers. The male was caught by police and arrested without further incident. 

RCMP says their investigation confirmed the male suspect had forced entry through the balcony door and the incident was targeted.
