Shortly after 7pm on July 2, 2013, officers from the Dauphin Municipal RCMP detachment were called to a break and enter in progress at a home on Mountain Road in Dauphin.
Police say that the homeowner had apprehended one of the suspects as they tried to run from the home before officers arrived on scene. Investigators quickly identified a number of other suspects who were arrested a short time later.
