The resulting investigation by the Airdrie RCMP and Calgary Police Service Serious Habitual Offender Program (SHOP) linked the three to a series of break ins in the Airdrie area between July 8 and July 12, as well as a number of break and enters in Calgary as well. The six Airdrie break-ins occurred on these dates between the hours of 8 a.m., and 4 p.m., throughout the city of Airdrie. The suspects would gain entry through unlocked doors and windows and once inside they stole electronics, cash and jewelry. In one home, one of the suspects was confronted by an 18 year old female occupant of the home. The suspect fled the home and the 18 year old called police. The young woman was not harmed during the incident.
On July 27, The Calgary Police Service executed a search warrant at the home of one of the arrested youths in Calgary. Once inside the home, police discovered stolen property estimated to be valued at over $50,000. Police also recovered several vehicles.
