The Regina Police and members from the Stolen Auto Unit were able to make a crime from transpiring Friday morning.

Police were alerted to a break in at an auto dealership in the 600 block of Albert Street.

A suspect male was observed trying keys on various vehicles in the parking lot. At the same time, police received information from a security firm employed by the business that a male had just broken into the showroom taking several key fobs with him.

Police were able to arrest a 40 year-old male, just as he was getting into one of the vehicles on the lot. Police located several key fobs from the dealership.

Further investigation led to charges in connection with a similar Break & Enter occurrence in which a vehicle was stolen, as well as a theft of gas in a drive-off incident.

Both of those incidents happened on December 8th.

There was also evidence to support charges in connection with a theft/shoplifting from a retail business on December 7th.

40 year old Mitchell Legendre of Regina is charged with multiple offences including attempting theft of a motor vehicle, and multiple break and enter to commit a theft and multiple counts of theft under $5000.
