A member of the Calgary Police Service has been charged following allegations of theft from several local hardware stores.
In August 2025, the CPS received a complaint relating to fraudulent activity and multiple thefts from hardware stores in Calgary and surrounding areas.
Following a thorough investigation, the suspect was identified as a CPS officer.
Items were allegedly stolen over the period of 12 months, totaling more than $10,000.
On Tuesday, Aug. 26, 2025, Const. Bradley Tepper, 52, was relieved of duty from the CPS and charged with one count of theft over $5,000 and one count of fraud over $5,000. He is a 20-year member of the CPS. Tepper is next expected to appear in court on Wednesday, Sept. 24, 2025.
“When a criminal investigation involves one of our own members, it has the potential to undermine trust and confidence in our Service,” says Calgary Police Chief Katie McLellan. “With investigations like this, our responsibility to conduct a thorough and impartial investigation is integral to upholding our principles of accountability and integrity.”
