A Calgary man faces criminal charges in connection with a series of break-and-enters targeting luxury homes in Rocky View County. On Sept. 23, Cochrane RCMP launched an investigation into a series of break-ins that left a number of homes damaged after suspects forcibly gained entry. Police say many items were stolen, including multiple vehicles. An investigation led to identifying a suspect, and officers, working in tandem with members of the Calgary police, recovered two stolen vehicles. On Oct. 1, they executed a search warrant at a Calgary home and located the suspect driving a third stolen vehicle and took him into custody. A 39-year old Calgary man was charged with three counts of break, enter and theft; theft of a motor vehicle; possession of property obtained by crime; and flight from a peace officer. Police say the man faces additional charges from the CPS in connection to separate investigations. Following a bail hearing, the accused was remanded into custody. He’s scheduled to appear in court in Cochrane on Tuesday. Police say the investigation continues, with additional charges possible.
