RCMP are searching for two men who told residents they were RCMP officers while trying to get into a Portage la Prairie home earlier this month.
Police were sent to the Royal Road home at about 6:20 p.m. on Aug. 8 and were told two men who claimed to be Mounties had asked them to open the door. They tried to push their way inside, breaking a door and a porch window before fleeing in a white sedan.
RCMP said in a news release Tuesday that one of the suspects is Christian Meeches, 27, of Long Plain First Nation. A warrant has been issued for his arrest.
Police are trying to identify another man who was wearing a white hoodie during the incident. Police asked anyone with information about the incident to contact Portage la Prairie RCMP at 204-857-4445, or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or online.
