The Dauphin RCMP Detachment have made several arrests related to recent snowmobile thefts in the area.
On March 11th, officers conducted a traffic stop on a pickup truck with a snowmobile in the back.
Officers determined the snowmobile had been stolen and arrested the 17-year-old male driver from the RM of Dauphin.
As a result, a search warrant was executed on Friday, March 13th at a home in the RM of Grandview which led to the recovery of 11 stolen snowmobiles, two stolen ATV’s, unsafely stored firearms and a small quantity of methamphetamine.
21-year-old Jordy Clyde Robertson was arrested at the scene, and faces 11 counts of Possession of Stolen Property, Trafficking in Property Obtained by Crime, Unsafe Storage of Firearms and Possession of a Controlled Substance.
Since then, a 22-year-old man from Roblin has also been arrested in connection with this incident and was later released from custody and placed on court-imposed conditions with a scheduled court appearance set for May 26th in Dauphin.
The investigation is ongoing, and Dauphin RCMP say more arrests are pending.
