A 38-year-old Edmonton man is in custody following a series of rural break-ins in Strathcona County earlier this month. Jonathan Ron Haines was arrested by the Strathcona County RCMP following a foot chase on April 3, 2026.
The incident began at approximately 4:30 a.m. when police received reports of an unwanted person entering a rural property near Range Road 204 and Township Road 512. While officers were searching the area, they received two additional calls from nearby residents who reported seeing the man on their properties.
Officers, with the assistance of Police Dog Services, were able to track and arrest the suspect. Haines faces multiple charges, including four counts of break and enter to a residence, assault, theft under $5,000, resisting a peace officer, and three counts of failing to comply with a release order.
Haines has been remanded into custody and is set to appear before the Alberta Court of Justice on April 22, 2026.
