On April 29, 2025, at 1:15 am, Dauphin RCMP were called to a report of a possible home invasion at a residence on Alexandria Street.
Officers responded immediately, when they arrived on scene found numerous windows of the residence broken, and were advised by the occupants that the suspect had left on foot.
Patrols were made in the area and shortly after, officers located a 28-year-old male who was arrested without incident.
An hour later, Dauphin RCMP received a report of break and enter at a residence on 5th Avenue, where the male suspect - known to police, had also threatened the female occupant and had injured a dog on the property.
Officers arrived on scene and located the suspect outside near the residence. The suspect was very agitated and acting aggressive towards police. The officers tried to arrest the suspect, but he was non-compliant and a Conducted Energy Weapon (CEW) was deployed and he was then taken into custody.
The suspect continued to resist officers as he was being placed inside the police cruiser, and during this time one of the officers suffered an injury as a result.
The officer attended the hospital for treatment and was later released.
While being transported to the detachment, the suspect inflicted considerable damage inside the back of the cruiser.
