A man has been charged with multiple offences, and a number of items have been recovered, after a three-month investigation in the Calgary area by the RCMP's crime reduction unit based in Cochrane.
With assistance from the RCMP's crime reduction unit for the southern Alberta district, the Cochrane team investigated a series of what they call high-end break-ins that occurred in Rocky View County and Foothills County, which surround Calgary.
Through the investigations, a suspect was identified and was later arrested after a search warrant was executed at a Calgary residence on Nov. 16.
The first break-in occurred on Aug. 11, police said.
"Speaking from a district perspective, it's not a common occurrence, it is a significant investigation," said Supt. Rick Jané with the RCMP.

Jané said the items will be held until the court process is complete. After that point, they will determine ownership and determine a course of action.
