Hatter charged in relation to storage unit B&Es in Brooks

A Medicine Hat man has been charged with breaking into storage lockers in Brooks, the RCMP detachment in that city announced Monday.

In late January, mounties were called to investigate a break-in to seven units at a local storage complex, and then on Feb. 4 executed a search warrant at a residence on Wild Rose Court W.

Police say they recovered hand and power tools, electronics, plus hunting and firearms accessories, leading to charges of possessing and trafficking stolen property, as well as breaches of release conditions,

Samuel Whitford, 31, was scheduled to appear in Medicine Hat provincial court on Monday.
