Increase in break-and-enters in Grande Prairie

Jul 25, 2018 | 12:59 PM

Grande Prairie has been experiencing an increase in break-and-enters in the last few weeks.

Cpl. Shawn Graham says they have arrested people that are allegedly responsible for several of the crimes.

“It is not necessarily a bunch of people breaking into a bunch of places. It can just be one, two, or three individuals doing the majority of the break-and-enters,” said Graham.

The B and E’s have involved both vehicles and houses, but statistics have not been provided by RCMP.

“Just through talking with other members of the detachment and hearing there has been an increase of break-and-enters as well as thefts occurring,” adds Graham. 

Although names or charges have not been released, Graham says more information will be provided once it is available.
