A woman is facing charges in connection with more than a dozen break-ins in the south Pembina Highway area.
The Winnipeg Police Service obtained a warrant for a suspect’s arrest, and officers arrested the woman at a home in the first hundred block of Newdale Avenue on Thursday.
More than $15,000 worth of property was stolen in the break-ins. Police began an investigation in October.

“Numerous residential garages and vehicles were broken into. Eight vehicles were stolen and recovered, and two attempted thefts resulted in defeated ignitions,” the WPS said in a news release Tuesday.
“Tools, cash and clothing were stolen from the garages and vehicles.”
An apartment complex on Dalhousie Drive with more than 100 mailboxes was broken into nine times.
Mail containing credit cards and cheques was stolen and used to make purchases. The total repairs cost approximately $80,000, the WPS said.
The break-ins happened, in order, in the first hundred blocks of Dalhousie, Allendale Drive and Briarcliff Bay South, the first hundred and 100 blocks of Briarlynn Road, the 200 block of Dalhousie, the 1700 and 3000 blocks of Pembina Highway, the 100 block of Baylor Avenue, the 100 block of Craigmohr Drive, the first hundred block of Dedrick Bay, the 100 block of McKellar Drive and the first hundred block of Newdale.
A 23-year-old Winnipeg woman has been charged with 69 break-enter and theft-related offences and detained in custody.
The Winnipeg Police Service is encouraging the public to record serial numbers for personal items such as vehicles/trailers, leisure sports items, power tools and bicycles.
“Making a police report with such serial numbers can increase the chance that this property will be returned to the rightful owner if recovered,” the WPS said.
