The RCMP has charged a woman in connection with a series of thefts across the region.

In April 2025, officers say they became aware of several break and enters in southern Alberta.

The suspects allegedly targeted cannabis dispensaries, liquor stores, convenience stores and other businesses in rural areas. The investigation also involved the thefts of numerous bicycles in Banff and open garages in Chestermere.

On May 2, two arrests were made.

Chaylee Eagle Plume Bruised Head, 36, of the Blood Tribe is charged with seven counts of break and enter, five counts of failing to comply with a release order, four counts of possession of stolen property over $5,000, three counts of possession of stolen property under $5,000, and one count of wearing a disguise to commit an offence.
