Police arrested three suspects in possession of stolen property following a break-in at a Jasper residence.
On April 26, Jasper RCMP received a report of a break and enter at a residence in Jasper.
The suspects had entered the back of the residence at night, while the residents were sleeping, and stole multiple items, including vehicle keys and the associated vehicle.

The suspects were later brought before a justice of the peace.
