The 18-year-old now faces criminal charges for possession of stolen property as well as failure to comply with a court order.
Police say that several items taken from the Dauphin residence, including electronics and sport equipment.
“While we never like to inform anyone that their residence was broken into, being able to let them know that a suspect was arrested is always good news,” said Sgt. Bert Paquet of the Manitoba RCMP. “Returning stolen property to their rightful owners is something we love to do, especially Christmas presents at this time of year.”
Officers are looking into the possibility of another individual being involved. The investigation into this matter continues.
