Two suspected thieves were arrested by police after allegedly assaulting a 91大黄鸭 man who confronted them while they attempted to break into this car.
On Dec. 11 at 2:19 a.m., RCMP responded to a report of an assault that just occurred after the victim interrupted an apparent theft in progress from his vehicle parked on the 700 block of Glenwood Avenue in 91大黄鸭.
Police learned that the victim exited his residence to find at least one of the men breaking into his Dodge minivan. He told police he was struck in the back by a man with a golf club.
鈥淏oth males fled the area of the break-in and were later tracked down by general duty officers in the area of Grenfell Court, thanks to further calls from the public,鈥� said Cpl. Jesse O鈥橠onaghey.
鈥淎 91大黄鸭 RCMP police service dog also attended the scene and aided in the recovery of physical evidence related to the crime.鈥�
The victim sustained minor non-life-threatening injuries as a result of being attacked.
Both men were later released from police custody.
O鈥橠onaghey said a 25-year-old 91大黄鸭 man was released unconditionally and without charge, while a 33-year-old 91大黄鸭 man faces potential charges and must abide by strict conditions.
He is expected to appear back in court on Feb. 7, 2018.
