On August 18, 2022, at approximately 7:25 am, Manitou RCMP received a report of a break, enter and theft from a business located on Main Street in Manitou that occurred sometime overnight.
Officers attended and were advised that the suspects had entered the business and had stolen an undisclosed amount of cash, fireworks and approximately $15,000 in cigarettes. The suspects also caused damage to the building and its contents before fleeing.
Later that afternoon, the subsequent investigation led to the arrest of 25-year-old Elmer Beaulieu, from Manitou, who was remanded into custody on charges of Break & Enter, Mischief Over $5000 and Uttering Threats. A search of his vehicle led to the recovery of the stolen property.
