City police have charged a 38-year-old man with a break-and-enter spree worth thousands, which includes thefts they say happened at government buildings and commercial businesses.
Major crimes started investigating in February 2026 and determined a single person was linked to all of the incidents, said Winnipeg police in a Monday release. In total, police say approximately $31,000 in goods and cash were stolen between Jan. 12 and Feb. 9.
Police also said there was an incident on April 9 where a man entered a business in the 100 block of Sherbrook Street and caused $5,000 worth of damages. All of the incidents were caught on video which was then turned over to police.
On April 9, police charged the man in connection to thefts at Milner Ridge Correctional Centre where he was incarcerated on unrelated charges.
He’s now facing charges that include five counts of break-and-enter and theft, mischief under $5,000 and possession of break-in tools. He remains in custody.
