Winnipeg police say a 23-year-old woman is facing dozens of theft-related offences linked to a series of break-ins in the Pembina South area over the course of four months.
Police allege more than $15,000 worth of property was stolen after several residential garages and vehicles were broken into between October 2023 and February 2024.
They say eight vehicles were stolen and recovered, and another two sustained “defeated ignitions” during attempted thefts. Tools, cash and clothing were stolen from the garages and vehicles, according to WPS.
Police allege an apartment complex on Dalhousie Drive was broken into nine times. Mail containing credit cards and cheques was reportedly stolen from tenant mailboxes.
“The stolen credit cards and bank cards were subsequently used to make various purchases,” WPs said in a news release.
“The repeated repairs cost approximately $80,000.”
Winnipeg police say officers with the property crime unit, with the help of the tactical support team, executed a warrant at a home on Newdale Avenue. A woman was taken into custody. Police allege more stolen property linked to additional break-and-enter and theft reports was discovered.
Winnipeg’s Kineisha Jawbone, 23, was charged with 69 break-enter and theft-related offences, and detained in custody.
