-----------------------------------------------------------------

The Calgary Police Service has identified the need for
proactive and prevention strategies as over 40 cases of break
and enters in new and developing communities have been
reported citywide since July of this year.

As the result of increased police presence and participation
by homebuilders, developers and community residents, two men
have been arrested and charged in relation to this type of
crime.

On Thursday, Nov. 5, 2009, at approximately 11 p.m., police
responded to reports of two men entering unoccupied homes
and/or construction trailers in the 0-100 block of Skyview
Springs Rise N.E.

The two men were observed forcing their way into homes and
trailers, and were in possession of break and enter tools.
The two men were subsequently arrested, and evidence linked
the accused to a separate incident in the same location
occurring one month earlier.

Tylor Cameron MACDONALD, 21, of Calgary, is charged with
break and enter to commit (shop or commercial), possession of
break-in instruments, two counts of trespassing at night, and
mischief to property under $5,000.
