DIDSBURY – A 39-year-old man is facing 33 charges related to more than a dozen recent break-ins of Didsbury businesses over the past two and a half months.

Eric Laurel Flinton, a Didsbury resident, was arrested on March 3 following an extensive police investigation, said Didsbury RCMP detachment commander Staff Sgt. Chad Fournier in a release issued Friday.

The break-ins of 13 businesses date back to Jan. 18, 2020, he said.

As well as break-and-enter charges, Flinton is also charged with theft of two cash donation boxes, possession of break-in instruments and failing to comply with bail conditions.

Police have not said what items, if any, were taken during the break-ins.

Following a judicial hearing, Flinton has been remanded into custody and is scheduled to appear in Airdrie provincial court on March 12, he said.

Didsbury RCMP is asking anyone with information in relation to these incidents to contact them at 403-335-3381 or through Crime Stoppers.
