(Peace River) – Two men are facing charges in connection with a break-and-enter at a Peace River residence on Oct. 18.
Peace Regional RCMP responded to a report of a home alarm around 6:30 a.m., indicating a break-and-enter and least two persons in the home in the area of 102 St., Peace RCMP public information officer Const. Julie-Ann Strilaiff writes in an RCMP news release Oct. 20.
While en route to the scene, officers observed an individual matching the description of a suspect provided by the homeowner. Police detained Dwayne Gabriel Sawan, 33, of Peace River.
When reviewing the surveillance footage, officers confirmed Sawan was one of the individuals involved and was charged with break- and-enter.
Sawan was brought before a Justice of the Peace and was remanded with a court date to appear in the Court of Justice in Peace River on Oct. 20.
Draper Nelson Laboucan, 46, of Cadotte Lake, was charged with break-and-enter and failure to comply with court orders.
RCMP identified him from the surveillance footage.
Later in the day, while conducting patrols in Peace River, RCMP noticed Laboucan in the area of 90 Ave. in Peace River.
“RCMP attempted to stop Laboucan, who fled on foot and climbed a building in the area of 94 St. to hide on the roof,” Strilaiff says.
“Laboucan was coaxed off the roof and was arrested.”
He was brought before a Justice of the Peace and was remanded with a court date to appear in the Court of Justice in Peace River on Oct. 20.
