More charges laid stemming from recent rash of B&Es

Grande Prairie RCMP has charged three more people in connection with a slew of break and enters at businesses in Grande Prairie and the surrounding areas.

22-year-old Alexis Jarvis, 44-year-old Vincent Hooper, and 50-year-old Randy Vander Veen, all from Grande Prairie, have each been charged with 14 offences. They include possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000 and possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000.

Police say a search warrant executed on a home and vehicle led them to several stolen items, including multiple safes and cash registers, of which many are connected to businesses. Also in the cache were guns, a stolen truck, ID and passports, as well as break and enter tools and other property reported stolen.

49-year-old Yvan Landry and 38-year-old Clifford Dranchuk, both of Grande Prairie, are already facing charges related to breaking and entering, wearing disguises, and possession of stolen property.

Jarvis, Hooper and Vander Veen will be back in court on January 5th, 2020. Dranchuk and Landry remain in custody until their next court date.
