Two people charged after theft of UTV: Bonnyville RCMP

On March 19th at 2:30AM, members of the Bonnyville RCMP were conducting proactive patrols when they observed a UTV (side by side) on the Iron Horse Trail near the industrial area parked suspiciously close to the fence line of a business.  

As the member approached they observed one suspect climbing back over the fence onto the trail and into the UTV which fled down the trail.  

The member alerted another member who was close by in the direction the UTV was driving.  

Police vehicle emergency lights were activated and the UTV tried to turn around but got stuck in a ditch and both suspects ran from police.  

A foot pursuit ensued which resulted in the quick apprehension and arrest of the two suspects.  

It was determined the UTV they were driving was stolen from a residence in Elk Point in February.  

Braedan Tizzard, 29, of Bonnyville is charged with two counts of Possession of Stolen Property, two counts of Trespassing, Resisting Arrest, two Counts of Mischief/Damage to Property Over $5000, and Flight from Police.  

He was released from custody and is set to appear in court on April 1.  

Tyler Jahn, 31, of Bonnyville is charged with two counts of Possession of Stolen Property, Trespassing, Resisting Arrest and three counts of Disobeying a Court Order.  

He was remanded into custody and his next court appearance is today, Tuesday, March 25th.
