Falcon Beach RCMP have arrested and charged an Abbotsford, BC man in connection to an investigation of a possible break-in at a property located in Hadashville, Manitoba.

On July 15, 2024, at approximately 9:30pm, Falcon Beach RCMP responded to a report of a male suspect that was seen entering a private property via video surveillance. Officers immediately attended the scene, along with Police Dog Services (PDS) and Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS).

Police say that an abandoned vehicle, with no licence plates, was located just outside the property. Officers noted that a licence plate was discovered inside the vehicle, and after checking, confirmed that the vehicle had been stolen out of Abbotsford, BC.

The area was then contained, and with the assistance of the RPAS, officers could see a male suspect running through a neighboring property and hiding in an abandoned building. As police officers closed in on the suspect, he gave up and was arrested without incident. Members noted that the suspect had sustained minor injuries unrelated to this incident and was taken to the hospital.

RCMP report that the 38-year-old male suspect, from Newfoundland, has been charged with flight from a peace officer, possession of property obtained by crime and trespassing at night.
