CALGARY – Police have charged two people in connection to a dozen break-and-enters in Varsity, earlier this year.
The suspects lived in the community, and allegedly walked through the neighbourhood to figure out information about the homes which were targeted.
Police believe the suspects, a man and woman, got into the homes by breaking in through rear basement windows.
It’s alleged the man would enter the home while the woman kept watch.
During the incidents, thieves stole jewelry and electronics like laptops and cellphones.
