“These reports occurred in 43 communities and the surrounding areas in southern Saskatchewan between September 2019 and February 2026,” the RCMP said in a statement.

“It was determined that a cumulative total of approximately $50,000 cash had been stolen. Other items that had been stolen included debit/credit cards, gift cards, alcohol, antique coins, and other various items.”

Police said the break-ins happened between September of 2019 and this month at businesses, town offices, post offices and community centres, but at this stage police do not believe any homes were affected.

The Regina man is now facing 61 charges of breaking and entering, 12 charges of attempted breaking and entering with intent, one count of possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000 and one count of possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000. He’s scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday in Regina.

“This may not be a violent crime, but it’s crime that is extremely damaging to those communities who lost valuables and funds and felt their safety has been compromised,” inspector Jill McLaren, with the Saskatchewan RCMP’s South District, said in a statement.

“I’m incredibly proud of the work done by our team for working together, connecting the dots, laying charges, and restoring a sense of security for these communities.”

The Mounties asked anyone with information about the string of break-ins, or anyone who was a victim of a break-in and didn’t previously report it, to contact the RCMP or Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers.

The RCMP said the break-ins happened in or near the following communities:
