One month after a Calgarian in the Renfrew community woke up to find a strange man sitting next to her on her bed, police say they have arrested and charged a man in connection with the case.
In a news release issued Wednesday, police said the incident occurred just after 5 a.m. on July 7. Officers were called to a home in the 700 block of Fourth Street Northeast after someone reported “an unknown man who had unlawfully entered a residence.”
“It is believed the victim, who was alone in her residence at the time, awoke to find the suspect in her bedroom,” police said. “The suspect is believed to have broken into the residence, entered the victim’s bedroom and removed some of his clothing before sitting on her bed.

Police said the suspect then ran away.

Anyone with information about this break and enter or other similar incidents is asked to contact the Calgary Police Service by calling 403-266-1234. Tips can also be submitted anonymously to Crime Stoppers.
