Since February 2025, Grande Prairie RCMP, assisted by Valleyview RCMP, Fox Creek RCMP, Western Alberta District General Investigation Section (WAD GIS) and Grande Prairie City Crime Reduction Unit (CRU) have been investigating 4 break and enters to Tim Hortons locations in the Western Alberta District. These incidents, two taking place in Grande Prairie, one in Valleyview and one in Fox Creek, have cost the businesses in excess of $30,000 in damages/loses. Thanks to the information collected at the various crime scenes, as well as various unrelated calls and contacts with police, investigators were able to determine the identity of 2 out of 3 suspects, who were located and arrested.
As a result of the investigation, Quinton Di Guistini (28) and Sara Lee (40), both residents of Grande Prairie, were arrested. Di Guistini was charged with 4 counts of Break and Enter while Lee was charged with 1. Both were brought before a justice of the peace and released on conditions. They are to appear before the Alberta Court of Justice in Grande Prairie on July 7, 2025.
