Queen Charlotte RCMP make arrest on Break and Enter file, seek Wanted Man

The Queen Charlotte detachment of the RCMP has made an arrest in a break and enter incident at the Richardson Ranch in Tlell, with one suspect arrested as ar result of the November 9th incident.

In an information update, the Queen Charlotte RCMP outlined the particulars of the case file:

Sometime during the previous night (November 8th), a number of businesses at the ranch were broken into including a tackle store, feed store, and the only serving veterinary clinic in the area. 

The thieves stole a number of items, animal medication, and personal items that hold sentimental value to the Richardson Family. 

Through the investigation, police gathered evidence, forensically examined the scene and spoke to witness which lead to the execution of a search warrant at the suspect’s residence. 

One individual was arrested and charges are being forwarded to crown counsel.
