Iqaluit RCMP have laid multiple Criminal Code charges against a 30-year-old man after an investigation into six property-related incidents in Iqaluit between January and August this year. The charges include several counts of break and enter, possession of break-in instruments and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose. The accused was remanded into custody and the matters are before the courts.
RCMP credited community members with helping to identify him. During the year the detachment also issued public appeals, using CCTV images, to identify suspects in break-ins at local businesses, including two evening break-ins at a store in March. In small northern communities, a handful of repeat incidents can affect many businesses at once, and usable camera images are often what turns a public appeal into an arrest.
