CLARESHOLM, AB – Police in Claresholm arrested a thirty-one year old man earlier this week in connection with a break and enter and theft.

Daniel Derek Morgan was apprehended by the RCMP on February 6, 2019. As a result of the arrest, an investigation led to a Search Warrant being obtained for a residence in Claresholm.

When police executed their warrant, they discovered stolen property linked to multiple offences that have happened in the Claresholm and Stavely areas since December, according to a release from the RCMP.

The police also seized controlled substances, including methamphetamine and fentanyl, several weapons, and Canadian and U.S. currency.

Morgan was charged alongside twenty-five year old Kassandra June Villneff of Okotoks. The two were charged with multiple counts of possession of property obtained by crime, possession of controlled substances and possession of weapons for a dangerous purpose.
