Break & Enter at Royal Beer Store
On the 13 August 2009 at about 1255 AM, a Police Patrol in the down town area
heard an audible alarm originating from the area of the Royal Hotel Beer Store
located at 126 Southrailway Street SE. As the officer travelled west through
an alley approaching the area of the beer store, he observed two males
who in turn observed police, take off towards Riverview Park on bicycles.
It
was quickly determined the beer store had been broken in to and other patrol
units converged on the area of the park. The two males were then seen running
across River Road SE towards the river. Patrol officers conducted a search of
this area on foot. The two males were located attempting to hide under
the train bridge by laying in the shallow water. They were taken into custody
without incident.
A backpack was located containing bottles of liquor from the
beer store as were the bicycles the suspects were riding.
The two males are identified as:
- Randy Yaholnitsky Age 21 of Medicine Hat
Charged with:
Break, Enter & Theft / Breach Probation Order.
- Justin Yaholnitsky Age 18 of Medicine Hat
Charged with:
Break, Enter & Theft, Dealt with traffic warrant from Edmonton.
