A man has been charged with multiple offences, and a number of items have been recovered, after a three-month investigation in the Calgary area by the RCMP's crime reduction unit based in Cochrane.
With assistance from the RCMP's crime reduction unit for the southern Alberta district, the Cochrane team investigated a series of what they call high-end break-ins that occurred in Rocky View County and Foothills County, which surround Calgary.
Through the investigations, a suspect was identified and was later arrested after a search warrant was executed at a Calgary residence on Nov. 16.
The first break-in occurred on Aug. 11, police said.
"Speaking from a district perspective, it's not a common occurrence, it is a significant investigation," said Supt. Rick Jané with the RCMP.

Another search warrant on Nov. 18 was executed at a storage locker in Calgary and the following items were recovered and seized:
Jané said the items will be held until the court process is complete. After that point, they will determine ownership and determine a course of action.
A 35-year-old man has been charged with the following offences:
The investigation is ongoing and RCMP said there is evidence at some of the break-ins that the suspect was not acting alone.
P.E.I.'s Public Schools Branch is looking for 50 substitute bus drivers, and it'll be recruiting at three job fairs on Saturday, June 8. The job fairs are located at the Atlantic Superstore in Montague, Royalty Crossing in Charlottetown, and the bus parking lot of Three Oaks Senior High in Summerside. All three run from 9 a.m. until noon. Dave Gillis, the director of transportation and risk management for the Public Schools Branch, said the number of substitute drivers they're hiring isn't unusual. "We are always looking for more. Our drivers tend to have an older demographic," he said.
