HUMBOLDT — Two adults from Saskatoon have been charged in connection with a string of break and enters across central Saskatchewan, including the Humboldt area.
The break-and-enters and thefts took place between Feb. 4 and April 26.
Saskatchewan RCMP said a joint investigation involving several detachments was launched by the Saskatoon RCMP Provincial General Investigation Section to identify those responsible for these crimes.
Evidence gathered by the RCMP throughout the investigation, which included surveillance videos, revealed an unknown man and a white Ford F150 truck was present at various crime scenes.
With the assistance of several RCMP detachments and the Saskatoon Police Service, more information about the truck was received. Officers were able to identify the owner of the vehicle and the male in the surveillance videos as 37-year-old Cody Kemick.
On May 2, Saskatoon Provincial GIS along with officers from Saskatoon, Outlook, Rosetown and Humboldt detachments executed a search warrant at Kemick’s residence in Saskatoon. Kemick and another occupant of the residence were arrested without incident.
Police said a search of the residence resulted in the seizure of approximately $35,000 worth of stolen property that included items such as tools, computers, electronic devices, ammunition, cheques, hair salon products, lottery tickets and clothing. These items are believed by police to be from break-and-enters into several businesses, residences and vehicles in Lucky Lake, Dinsmore, Rosetown, Kerrobert, Aberdeen, Humboldt, Milden, Conquest and Saskatoon.
Kemick has been charged with three counts of break and enter, 10 counts of possession of stolen property, one count of theft and one count of mischief.
Chantal Dubois has been charged with one count of break and enter, and seven counts of possession of stolen property.
