Beaverlodge RCMP arrest two in break-ins at Hythe oil and gas sites
Officers caught the pair fleeing in a pickup truck after responding to a break-in in progress near Hythe early Monday morning.
Beaverlodge RCMP arrested two suspects connected to multiple break-and-enter incidents after responding to a call about a break-in in progress at an oil and gas site near Hythe at approximately 3:07 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 26.
Police quickly located two individuals who attempted to flee the scene in a pickup truck before being arrested. While still at the location, Mounties received a second complaint from a nearby oil and gas site and determined the same suspects were responsible for both incidents, recovering a significant amount of stolen property.
Both suspects now face two counts of break and enter and two counts of possession of stolen property. One suspect faces additional charges for failing to comply with probation and release orders and has been remanded into custody. The other suspect was released and is scheduled to appear at the Alberta Court of Justice in Grande Prairie on Nov. 2.
