Alberta RCMP says a 24-year-old man from Camrose has been charged after allegedly breaking into a residence in Leduc on Wednesday.
Mounties say around 7:27 a.m. on Jan. 14, they responded to a report of a break and enter in progress at a residence along 48A Street near Black Gold Drive.
Officers arrived at the residence in under three minutes from the time they were dispatched, and they were able to find the homeowner, who had reportedly been involved in a physical confrontation.
Reports also indicate that during the confrontation, the homeowner was hit with an ice scraper.
