Vermilion RCMP lays charges in break and enter

A 28-year-old woman is facing multiple break and enter charges.

On June 7, 2025, Vermilion RCMP responded to a complaint of a break and enter in progress to a rural residence in the Vermilion River County.

Further investigation determined that an alarm system, with remote surveillance capabilities, had alerted the homeowner to suspicious activity, who then contacted 911.

Members attended but the suspect had already departed. Review of the CCTV footage by the members resulted in the identification of the suspect.

On June 11, 2025, Vermilion RCMP responded to a complaint of two separate break and enters to a single residence in Mannville. An investigation was completed, revealing the same suspect as the June 7 break and enter.

As a result of these investigations, Keisha Sharp, a 28-year-old resident of Mannville, was arrested and charged with:

• Break and enter to a dwelling-house (x3);
• Fail to comply with probation order (x2); and
• Mischief under $5000 (x2).

Sharp was brought before a justice of the peace, where she was ultimately released on conditions. She is set to appear before court at the Alberta Court of Justice in Vermilion on July 7, 2025.

“We would like to take the time to thank the public in trusting us with their safety” said Sgt. Corey Buckingham, Detachment Commander of Vermilion RCMP. “Thanks to calls from the public, as well as access to their installed security equipment, we were able to conduct the arrest of someone trying to break into the homes of those within out community”.
