ST. PAUL – At 2:52 a.m. on July 6, St. Paul RCMP received a report of an intruder at the St. Paul Towing compound in the town’s industrial park.
RCMP members responded to the break and enter in-progress, locating and apprehending two suspects who were allegedly hiding among vehicles in the compound, according to RCMP.
The two suspects, who are alleged to have provided false names to police, gained entry to the compound by reportedly cutting a hole in the fence.
Janice Jackson, a 42-year-old resident of Saddle Lake First Nation, now faces charges of break and enter, mischief, possession of break in tools, identity fraud, and obstruction.
Jackson was also found to be wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for breaching her federal parole release.
Joey Omeasoo, a 40-year-old resident of Ochapowace First Nation, Sask., is facing break and enter, mischief and obstruction charges. Omeasoo was also wanted on five outstanding warrants for his arrest.
“Motion sensor security cameras and the immediate reporting to RCMP was a huge advantage in the outcome of this occurrence,” said Cpl. Stephen Cunningham, with the St. Paul RCMP.
“Motion sensing cameras that can notify the property rep immediately of any movement to their cell phone can play a significant role in securing properties and in this case, assist the police in apprehending criminals in the act.”
St. Paul RCMP encourage the public to report any criminal or suspicious activity. “Reports tell us where to look, who to look for, and where to patrol in the future,” states St. Paul RCMP.
