Yellowknife, Northwest Territories

News release

Yellowknife RCMP responded to three commercial break and enters on Old Airport Road on April 14, 2022.

At 1:14 am, Yellowknife RCMP responded to a complaint of a commercial alarm at a business on Old Airport Road. RCMP attended and determined a door to the business had been damaged in an attempt to gain access.

RCMP later observed a man leaving the property of another business on Old Airport Road. This man matched the description of the suspect who attempted to gain access to the first reported break and enter. This man was subsequently arrested for failing to comply with conditions of a probation order and found to be in possession of numerous items stolen from another business which had not yet reported a break and enter.

The subsequent investigation linked this man to three separate reports of break and enters on Old Airport Drive which occurred overnight on April 14th, 2022. This man faces multiple charges, namely break and enter, possession of property obtained by crime and failing to comply with a probation order.

Anyone with information about these crimes is asked to contact the Yellowknife RCMP at 669-1111 or Crimestoppers at P3 Tips. In the event of an emergency call, 911.
