NORTH BATTLEFORD – Two North Battleford residents were arrested following a police raid on a home in North Battleford, looking for stolen property.
Kyle McCaw, 43, and Trebor Swindler, 47, are facing numerous charges and have been remanded in custody. They are scheduled to appear in North Battleford Provincial Court June 12.
McCaw and Swindler are believed to be responsible for thefts at three businesses in North Battleford. On April 24, a vehicle was stolen from a business on the 2500 block of 99 Street. On May 11, a vehicle was stolen from a business on Highway 16. On May 18, a Bobcat skid steer was stolen from a business on the 1100 block of 100 Street.
RCMP say at first the thefts didn’t appear related. Then, on May 12, the RCMP Gang Task Force found both stolen vehicles at a home in the 1000 block of 110 Street in North Battleford. This prompted the North Battleford RCMP Gang Task Force, along with RCMP General Investigation Section, and the RCMP Crime Reduction Team to execute a search warrant at the home on the 1000 block of 110 Street. Police found a stolen Bobcat skid steer and multiple pieces of commercial-grade electronic tools/equipment.
McCaw was charged with three counts of possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000, possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000 for the purpose of trafficking, and possession of a weapon contrary to a court order.
Swindler was charged with two counts of possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000, and failure to comply with an undertaking.
