In the early morning hours on Thursday, June 2, 2016, four separate homes in the West Edmonton were entered after the suspects used garage door openers found within parked vehicles. It is alleged the suspects then gained entry to both the garage and the interior of the homes to obtain items such as wallets, keys and electronics.
West Division officers have already located some of the stolen property as a result of follow-up investigations, including search warrants at five locations this morning (Sat., June 4, 2016). While the investigation continues, arrest warrants have now been issued for the following individuals:
Robert Paul Allard, 28
Laetitia Angelique Acera, 23
Sean Robert Gullick, 23
Police allege these three individuals are part of a group that carried out the break and enters to obtain property with particular focus on credit cards, ID and other banking information. A fourth person who is linked to the group was arrested on Friday (June 3, 2016). A 28-year-old British Columbia woman is now facing charges of possession of stolen property for her alleged involvement. The group are believed to have travelled from lower mainland BC and were frequenting Edmonton-area hotels and motels since mid-May.
Police urge the public to always lock vehicles, and secure or remove portable garage door openers if the vehicle is parked outside of a garage.
"This serves as opportunity to reinforce our role in crime prevention," says Constable Jordan Veasey. “As part of your nightly routine, ensure you lock all doors that give access to your home; and this includes the one that leads to and from your attached garage.”
Anyone with information about these individuals or their current whereabouts is asked to contact the Edmonton Police Service at 780-423-4567 or #377 from a mobile phone. Anonymous information can also be submitted to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at http://ift.tt/1az8Eve.

Regarding the story you published about, “West Edmonton break-ins prompt police to ask public for help.”
ReplyDeleteI'd like to know how you could report about a story without looking into it first. And how you could wrongfully plaster someone's face and their name on the internet and the news?
Because basically you have libeled my son. Or if you want, you can call it defamation of character.
“In a December 2009 case, the Supreme Court of Canada established this new defence to a libel claim. The court said that journalists should be able to report statements and allegations—even if not true—if there’s a public interest in distributing the information to a wide audience. This defence, which looks at the whole context of a situation, can apply if:
the news was urgent, serious, and of public importance, and
the journalist used reliable sources, and tried to get and report the other side of the story.”
Because unless you can explain to me how it's humanly possible for someone to physically be in 2 different provinces at the same time, then my son is not one of the people who allegedly committed these crimes. But you would have known this, had you have done your job properly. But you did not. Even though you did use reliable sources, you did not “try to get and report the other side of the story.”
So again I ask you, I'd like to know how you could report about a story without looking into it first. And how you could wrongfully plaster someone's face and their name on the internet and the news? Or do you for one minute, even think about how this has now affected not only my son, but his family as well? Now all of the comments and ridicule, the accusations and the derogatory names he is now being called by people he doesn't even know, and who don't know him.
And for what?
If your son (who you haven't named) had a warrant out for his arrest in connection with these crimes then the above report from the Edmonton Police Department is accurate and not libel or defamation. The warrants are for alleged connection with crimes committed in two provinces. Out of curiosity, what province was your son in?
