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.
