Man arrested after attempting to hide at Upper Room Mission

A 34-year-old man from Calgary is in custody and facing several charges after an alleged break and enter early Wednesday morning.

RCMP received two separate calls of possible break and enters in the 2200 block of 18^th Avenue around 6 a.m. Wednesday.

Police arrived at the scene en masse and located a suspect who then fled from an officer.

“ Multiple officers quickly converged on the area and eventually caught up to the alleged break and enter suspect who then jumped over a fence at the rear of the Upper Room Mission and made his way into the shelter via a back door in an attempt to hide,” said RCMP Const. Kelly Brett. “Officers entered the building with the assistance of police service dog Jagger who located the suspect and was successfully taken into custody.”
