Vol. 15 Issue 3, Leduc-Wetaskiwin Pipestone Flyer
On December 21st, 2010, at approximately 4:21 hrs., Leduc RCMP received a report of a commercial alarm at an apartment complex located on Keystone Crescent. Leduc RCMP attended the location and were met by a man waving his arms to police.
The man alerted police to a vehicle that was parked but running on the side of the road near the apartment complex. After further investigation, Leduc RCMP believed that the two males inside the vehicle were involved in a break and enter to the main office of the apartment complex. They were arrested and taken into police custody. Hours after this, an occupant of that apartment building reported unknown men broke into his apartment. Once the suspects gained entry into the residence, they tied up the occupant and threats were made to him at gun point. Several items were stolen from the occupant. The same men arrested in the break and enter were also involved in the robbery of the occupant.
A third male was arrested later the same day.
Bradley Paul BEGIER, 31 yrs old from Leduc, AB, Marshall Allen COMEAU, 27 yrs old from Leduc, AB and Brent Michael TETREAULT, 26 yrs old from St. Albert, AB are facing the following charges:
