Police have arrested and charged four suspects after an investigation into a break-and-enter in the Paradise Valley area.
On Nov. 5, Kitscoty RCMP were called to a business compound south of Highway 619 in Paradise Valley. An employee of the business reported seeing a vehicle and several people within the compound. RCMP reported finding an SUV with a large amount of copper wire in the rear hatch. Further investigation revealed the SUV had been reported as stolen.
RCMP observed a female, walking within the compound, who was arrested without incident. Lloydminster Police Dog Services (PDS) were called to the scene and they located two more suspects, who were subsequently arrested.
CCTV footage revealed a fourth suspect involved in the break-in. A warrant was sought for the fourth suspect, who was arrested by Lloydminster RCMP at a later date.
“This investigation was helped greatly by the contributions of the people who reported the incident,” said Cst. McMahon of the Kitscoty RCMP. “There was no delay in calling police and as a result we were able to successfully locate the suspects without significant difficulty.”
Police have charged the following suspects:
- Allea Geraldine Lameman, 27-years of Onion Lake Cree Nation
- Mitchell Wright, 31-years of Lloydminster
- Tessa Lynn Rose Lameman, 29-years from Marshall
- Daniel Ivan Meesto, 45-years from Marshall with:

Tessa Lameman, Mitchell Wright, and Allea Lameman were released with their next court date being Dec. 19 at the Alberta Court of Justice in Lloydminster.
