COLD LAKE - Charges have now been laid following a break and enter that occurred in April in Cold Lake where about $80,000 worth of computers, tablets, mobile devices and other electronics were reportedly stolen.
On April 13, Cold Lake RCMP responded to a break and enter in progress at the Staples store in the Tri-City area.
"The suspects appeared to have disabled the power to the building and cut a hole in the wall to gain access," according to information released by RCMP on July 23. "The suspects left the Staples in a truck when police arrived on scene and were not located at the time."
Cold Lake General Investigations Section (GIS) began an investigation into the break and enter when a vehicle, similar to the one seen at the Staples during the break and enter, was seen with several individuals moving computer boxes not long after the alleged theft took place.
"Between April 16, 2024, and April 18, 2024, police executed search warrants on two vehicles and a residence in the City of Cold Lake. During the search, police located most of the stolen property from the Staples break and enter... Police have charged two people in relation to this break and enter," according to RCMP.
Chance Dunne, 39, a resident of Cold Lake, and Logan Murrell, 28, a resident of Edmonton, have been charged with break and enter and possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000.
Both Dunne and Murrell are remanded into custody and will appear in the Cold Lake Court of Justice on July 24.
