LETHBRIDGE – Two women face multiple charges following a break and enter and theft of a handgun.
Sunday morning, just after 1 a.m. the Lethbridge Regional Police Service was called to a break-in in progress on the north side. Officers found a home with a broken window and front door dislodged. No one was inside and it was determined a number of items, including a handgun, had been stolen.
Police were able to identify the suspects and tracked them to a home on Grand River Boulevard West, in the community of Riverstone. Because of the suspected presence of a gun, the tactical team was called to assist and the public was asked to stay away.
The two suspects left the home just before 10 a.m. and were arrested without incident. Kristen Rebecca Riemann, 30, and Mereanda Josephine Sorensen, 27, both of Lethbridge now face numerous firearm and break and enter charges.
Both made their first court appearance Monday.
