On June 4, 2026, at 2:48 am, Stonewall RCMP received a report of a multiple hit alarm at a business located in the 9500 block on Highway 7, in the RM of Rockwood.

Upon arrival at 3:15 am, officers observed a pickup truck idling and hooked up to a trailer near the back entrance to a shop. Officers approached the back door and noticed that it had been forced open. The lights were off but officers could hear someone rummaging inside. They then heard an engine starting.

Officers immediately announced themselves and instructed whoever was inside to come out. The suspect then walked out with his hands in the air, wearing a facemask up to his cheek bones, a hat with a head lamp and dark clothing. He was arrested without incident. Officers then cleared the building and determined he was alone, he had started a front-end loader inside the shop and was preparing to load it up on the trailer.

The truck idling outside was determined to have been stolen from and address located in the RM of St Andrews on June 1, 2026. Officers also recovered the hooked-up trailer and multiple power-tools inside the stolen truck that belong to the business.

• Possession of property obtained by crime over $5000 – motor vehicle;
