COLEMAN, AB – The RCMP in the Crowsnest Pass has laid charges against a fourth person in connection to a violent break and enter.

On September 16, 2023, officers were called to a home in Coleman on reports that five men armed with weapons allegedly assaulted three residents.

Charges were first laid against two suspects on September 21 and a third suspect was charged the following day.

The latest round of charges came on Thursday, September 28, after members searched a home in Lethbridge and claim to have confiscated a bat, a hatchet, a knife, ammunition, an air pistol, two air rifles, and three cell phones.

Nearly two weeks later, the RCMP said it had tracked down a fourth suspect and laid charges on Thursday, September 28, 2023.
