On Jan. 28, at approximately 1:40 p.m., Dauphin RCMP took three adult males into custody in connection with multiple incidents that occurred over a four-hour period – including a theft and a break and enter.
The series of incidents began at 9:40 a.m., when a truck was reported taken without consent from a residence on the Ebb and Flow First Nation.
Three hours later, at 12:40 p.m., RCMP received a report that a theft had occurred at a liquor store in Dauphin, with multiple bottles of liquor taken. Both the suspect and the vehicle they left in matched the description of the earlier incident. Dauphin RCMP and Police Dog Services members patrolled the area in search of the suspect and communicated with Ste. Rose RCMP.
Just after 1:05 p.m., RCMP received a report of an armed break and enter at a rural property in the RM of Ochre River, with a description of the suspect and vehicle matching the earlier incidents.
Officers made patrols in the area and spotted three people inside the suspect vehicle, which did not pull over despite attempts by officers to do so. RCMP continued to track the vehicle towards Ste. Rose du Lac and successfully deployed a spike belt on the vehicle on Highway 5, near Ste. Rose Central Road. The vehicle continued for a short distance after that before driving into the boulevard and getting stuck.
Three males were subsequently taken into custody after a short foot pursuit.
Wade Garret Houle, 28, from Ebb and Flow First Nation, has been charged with 10 offences, including:
- Theft under $5,000 x2;
- Possession of break-in instruments;
- Theft of motor vehicle;
- Possession of property obtained by crime;
- Dangerous driving x2;
- Flight from police x2; and
- Resisting arrest.
He has been remanded into custody.
Ernest Beaulieu, 43, and Martin Houle, 39, both from Ebb and Flow First Nation, are charged with flight from police and resisting arrest. They were released on a release order.
