The Moose Jaw Police Service has made several arrests in relation to a break and enter that occurred at a storage bay unit on the 100 block of Diefenbaker Drive in October of last year.
A safe containing more than 25 firearms and ammunition was allegedly stolen in the incident, and after a lengthy investigation with the National Weapons Enforcement Support Team, the MJPS has made several arrests in relation to the theft.
Several of the stolen firearms have also been recovered since the 2018 theft, in both Regina and Moose Jaw.
More than 80 criminal charges have been laid against a handful of people, three of whom are from Moose Jaw. Charges include break and enter to steal firearms, possession of firearms in a motor vehicle, firearms trafficking, and numerous other firearms-related charges.
Five individuals have appeared in court on those charges, including Brian Thorne-Bitternose of Regina, Jordan Shields of Eyebrow, Nicholas Connolly of Moose Jaw, Ryan Tatum of Moose Jaw, and Dakota Desjarlais of Moose Jaw.
The MJPS has also issued an arrest warrant for Kristen Desjarlais in connection to the incident, and ask the public to contact either the MJPS at 1 (306) 694-7600 or Moose Jaw Crime Stoppers at 1 (800) 222-8477 with any information about Kristen’s whereabouts.
