A Saskatoon woman was given 25 hours of community service for her part in a string of robberies across Central Saskatchewan.
Chantal Dubois, 41, was sentenced in Saskatoon Provincial Court on charges of break and enter and possession of stolen property exceeding $5,000, which included products from a hair salon, electronics from Western Wireless in Unity and lottery tickets from a gas station.
The court also ordered her to get mental health and addictions counselling.
Dubois and Cody Kemick were arrested in May 2020 after a lengthy police investigation involving multiple police agencies.
The court heard that during an investigation into business break-ins and thefts that started in February 2020, police gathered surveillance videos showing a man in a white Ford 150 truck at various crime scenes. Several RCMP detachments and the Saskatoon Police Service worked together to obtain information about the truck and officers identified the man as Kemick.
Saskatoon Provincial RCMP GIS, along with officers from Saskatoon, Outlook, Rosetown and Humboldt detachments, then raided Kemick’s Saskatoon home. They found $35,000 in computers, electronics, tools, hair salon products, lottery tickets, cheques and ammunition.
When police returned some of the cellphones and electronics to business owners, one person found child pornography on a computer. RCMP then analyzed the other devices and found 1,328 child pornography videos depicting girls between the ages of seven and 10 years old.
Kemick has a prior child luring conviction and eight prior property-related convictions. Last month he was sentenced to four years in prison for child pornography charges and robbing the nine businesses in Central Saskatchewan.
