A Drumheller woman has received a trial date in relation to a break and enter and theft in Hussar last month.
Hailey Morrison, 24, appeared in Drumheller Provincial Court on Friday, August 24 via closed circuit television from the Calgary Remand Centre where she heard her trial date was scheduled for January 25.
Morrison was charged along with Shawn Panteluk of Gleichen and Brett Voytko of Lethbridge on July 17 in relation to a theft of an ATM and a police pursuit near Hussar. Charges ranged from break and enter and theft over $5,000, possession of stolen property, dangerous driving, flight from police, and weapons charges. All three offenders were on court imposed conditions from other crimes they were involved with.
On July 17, 2018 at approximately 4:30 a.m., Bassano RCMP received a call of an alarm at a business in the hamlet of Hussar. On arrival it was determined that a break and enter had occurred where suspects removed the ATM from the building and fled.
While following the suspects, one suspect had leaned out the window of the moving vehicle and pointed a long gun at the victim. The victim stopped following and was not injured.
Shortly thereafter the vehicle was located by RCMP and a pursuit was initiated when the vehicle failed to stop for police. The pursuit continued through Bassano’s rural area and ended when the suspect’s stolen vehicle got stuck in a field.
