Regina police officers didn’t have to do much to track down a suspect Wednesday.
They just followed his footprints.
In a media release Thursday, the Regina Police Service said officers saw a vehicle that had been reported stolen — bearing a licence plate from another stolen vehicle — parked in the 3000 block of Avonhurst Drive.
“Police followed footprints leaving the vehicle to a house on the 400 block of Robinson Street, where a 28-year-old male was found in possession of the vehicle keys,” the media release said. “The male was arrested for stolen property and possession of break-in instruments.”
He also had outstanding warrants for his arrest dating back to 2017, when he was a suspect in the attempted theft of a licence plate. Officers also determined he was suspected of a break and enter in late February.
He appeared in court Thursday morning.
