Break-in suspect faces attempted murder charges in Denare Beach

Jun 8, 2017 | 1:19 PM

Police have laid multiple charges on a suspect allegedly involved in multiple assaults and break-ins in Denare Beach.

Investigators received several complaints about a man breaking into a residence on Denare Beach and allegedly assaulting the home owner. He then allegedly broke into a neighbour’s residence and stole some property.

In a media release police say the male suspect then left the second residence and approached a man in an ATV and tried to steal the vehicle. The driver, however, pulled the keys from the vehicle and entered another residence where he locked the door.

Police say the suspect then entered the third home and assaulted the ATV driver. When another man drove by and stopped to assist, the suspect then allegedly tried to steal the witness’ vehicle.

All the incidents occurred within a 10-minute period, police say.
