In June 2025, we warned Calgarians of an increase of reports in relation to overnight break and enters occurring city-wide while homeowners were asleep. A task force was created and investigating these incidents became a priority for our Service.
Following a complex investigation, our officers were able to identify a large number of suspects believed to be involved in the break and enter incidents. Our officers executed three search warrants at residences located in southeast Calgary and issued six judicial authorizations in relation to the investigation.
As a result, we have now laid more than 100 charges against eight adults and nine youths in connection with more than 45 break and enters. The incidents occurred in all areas of the city, dating back to August 2024, with most incidents taking place in May 2025 and June 2025.
It is believed the individuals charged in this investigation are all known to one another and were working in a co-ordinated effort to target homeowners across Calgary.

Going forward, our investigators plan to engage with the youths charged in this investigation through the Serious Habitual Offender Program (SHOP). This is a community-based crime intervention program focused on prevention, reduction and enforcement, targeting habitual youth and young adult offenders aged 12 to 24. The SHOP team monitors roughly 80 SHOP offenders at any one time, with the goal of reducing criminal recidivism.
