Police charge Edmonton male and female in connection with commercial break-in
Lethbridge Police have charged a 42-year-old male and 38-year-old female after $50,000 worth of merchandise was stolen during a break-in at a local business.
On December 23, 2025 during the early morning hours, two male subjects broke into Memory Express along the 1600 block of Mayor Magrath Drive South by cutting and prying open the roll shutters. Approximately $50,000 worth of equipment, including processors, motherboards and laptops, was stolen before the subjects left in a white BMW operated by a female subject.
As a result of extensive follow-up investigation by members of the Property Crimes Unit, warrants were issued for two subjects who were ultimately located and arrested in Lloydminster on March 10 with the assistance of RCMP. The subjects were found inside the white BMW associated to the Memory Express break-in. Efforts to locate and arrest the third subject are ongoing.
Kelly Wayne Trottier, 42, and Nikita Leslie Pawlick, 38, both of Edmonton, are each charged with break and enter other than a dwelling house. Both were remanded in custody to appear in court in Lloydminster today.
The investigation is ongoing. At this time, police have not recovered the stolen property.
