Two individuals appeared in North Battleford court Monday morning regarding the attempted vehicle theft that occurred approximately five km east of North Battleford on Highway 40.
Accused are Matthew Robert John MacDonald, 32, who faces charges of theft of a vehicle and two possession of stolen property counts; and Joanne Louise Henke, 37, who is being charged with theft of a vehicle, two counts possession of stolen property and one count dangerous driving. The charges stem from Dec. 8.
The two individuals appeared before Judge David Kaiser on Monday morning and were remanded in custody to Tuesday for a show cause hearing. No-contact orders were made at the time so that the two individuals cannot contact one another.
On Tuesday, before Judge Lorna Dyck, counsel for MacDonald adjourned his matters to Jan 11 at 11 am, to appear by closed-circuit TV. The reason is to accommodate a couple of trials MacDonald has upcoming in Alberta.
Henke’s matters have been adjourned to Thursday, Dec. 14.
The Crown is proceeding by indictment on both matters.
