RCMP arrest two after B&E

Hiding in the bush didn’t work for a pair of people accused of breaking and entering on Sept. 29.

RCMP say they initially got the call that there was a break and enter in progress at a residence on Hazelridge Road in the RM of Springfield at 12:40 a.m.

They responded but the suspects had already fled in a dark-coloured Jeep that was later found to be stolen from the RM of Hanover 12 days prior.

Police say they learned the two individuals had entered the residence when it was occupied stealing items before fleeing.

RCMP located the Jeep near a bush on Dawson Road in Richer.

The suspects had fled into the bush and were found using a police drone.

“Police found a BB gun inside the vehicle and one suspect was carrying many knives,” the news release stated.

The suspects, Daniel Somerton, 40, from Morris and Kayla Nolin, 31 from the RM of Reynolds, were charged and remanded into custody.

They face charges of possession of property obtained by crime, breaking and entering and possession of a weapon for the purpose of committing an offence.
