We may only be a few weeks into the New Year, but the Strathmore RCMP detachment has been busy closing a number of cases in town. Jan. 6 to 14 the detachment began 12 theft-of-vehicle investigations. It was believed by the RCMP that the people responsible were a group of men from Calgary who were staying in the Strathmore area. 

On Jan. 10 William Kelly a.k.a. Corey York, 19, and Dakota Bolton, a.k.a. Dakota Domroes, 19, were charged with several criminal code offences coming from these investigations. In the bail hearings held on Jan. 10, Bolton was released on bail and Kelly was held in custody and appeared in provincial court on Jan. 21. 

On Jan. 14 the detachment responded to a break-and-enter call at a business in Rockyford. Items valued over $5,000 were taken from the business. A truck that had been stolen in Calgary was located in Strathmore a short time later. It was believed that the truck had been used for the break and enter. A residential search warrant was executed and seven people were arrested later that day in connection with the investigation. 

Jan. 15 saw three more men arrested in the Strathmore area. Dakota Bolton, 19, Wilfred Barrett a.k.a. Bronson Palmantier, 19, and Robert Bourassa, 19, were charged with break and enter to commit theft, possession of stolen property and other related offences. Bourassa was also arrest for 14 outstanding warrants of arrest for various criminal code offences out of Calgary. All three were held in custody and appeared in Strathmore Provincial Court on Jan. 21 for bail hearings.
