Two men accused of breaking into a business made their first court appearance recently, where one was released on conditions and another was remanded until a bail hearing occurred.
Jared Caplette, 23, and Dustin Taitinger, 30, both from Moose Jaw, appeared in Moose Jaw Provincial Court on Oct. 17.
The Crown consented to Caplette’s release, with his conditions being to keep the peace and be of good behaviour, appear in court when required to do so and not be anywhere near Schultz Electric Ltd. on Athabasca Street East.
He must re-appear in court on Wednesday, Nov. 2.
Meanwhile, the Crown was opposed to the release of Taitinger. The judge ordered a bail verification report to be written and prepared for Taitinger’s bail hearing in Regina on Thursday, Oct. 20.
He will remain in jail until then.
According to previous information, the Moose Jaw Police Service received a call shortly after midnight on Oct. 15 about a break-in at a business on the city’s east side.
Police surrounded Schultz Electric, but two people attempted to flee the venue. With assistance from the K-9 unit, officers located the two men a short distance away. EMS treated one of the men on scene for minor injuries.
Officers charged Taitinger with breaking and entering and resisting arrest, while they charged Caplette with breaking and entering, resisting arrest, possessing stolen property and breaching probation.
