RCMP are asking for the public’s help identifying two suspects involved in a break-and-enter at an apartment complex in Spruce Grove.

Around 8 p.m. on June 12, police responded to a report from a landlord who interrupted a break-in.

The suspects — one male and one female — began to leave when confronted, but the situation escalated when the man turned back and sprayed the landlord with bear spray as she recorded the incident on her phone.

Both suspects then fled the scene.

Investigators are looking to speak with anyone who may have information or surveillance footage from the area of Spruce Ridge Drive between 7 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. on June 12.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Parkland RCMP at 825-220-7267.

Tips can also be submitted anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477, online at www.P3Tips.com or through the “P3 Tips” app. For non-emergency matters in any Alberta RCMP jurisdiction, call 310-RCMP.
