Bonnyville RCMP have arrested one suspect in relation to the break-in last week where the suspects were known to the homeowner.
On June 11, RCMP identified 35-year-old Marjorie Nicholls driving at the Bonnyville Centennial Centre.
When additional police arrived, Anthony Marshall, a 33-year-old Cold Lake male, fled from the vehicle on foot but was soon arrested and charged with flight from police, resist/obstruct a police officer, three counts of possession of a weapon contrary to an order.
Nicholls was also arrested. The Bonnyville woman was charged with flight from police, possession of methamphetamine, driving an unregistered motor vehicle, operating a motor vehicle without registration, two counts of identity theft, unauthorized possession of a firearm, and unsafe storage of a firearm.
According to Sgt. Kim Hillier, during a search police found a crossbow, rifle ammunition, a rifle barrel, a balaclava, a red bandana, meth, a scale, and a meth pipe.
Nicholls is connected to the earlier break-in police were investigating. As a result, she has been charged with forcible confinement, robbery, and theft of a motor vehicle.
Police are continuing to investigate the break-in and one suspect is outstanding.
