Over 100 charges have been laid against 17 suspects in relation to a string of break-ins across Calgary.
According to the Calgary Police Service (CPS), a task force was created earlier this year in response to a rise in late-night residential break-and-enters, dating back to August 2024.
The investigation culminated in three search warrants executed at southeast Calgary homes, along with six judicial authorizations.
Eight adults and nine youths have been charged in connection to more than 45 break-ins across the city. Investigators believe the suspects coordinated with one another to target homes throughout Calgary.
