On May 18, 2Cranbrook RCMP launched an investigation after getting information regarding firearms and stolen property. Police were advised that a Cranbrook resident had been threatened and had several items stolen.

“The officers from the local detachment, with support from the Southeast district teams, were able to seize several stolen items as well as removing restricted firearms from the community,” says Cst Katie Forgeron with the Cranbrook detachment. “We are proud of the team that came together quickly to ensure public safety”.

Adam Thomas Jolliffe, a 30-year old man from Armstrong is facing numerous charges including Break and Enter, Robbery, Unlawful Confinement, Utter Threats along with several firearms charges.
