Two men have been arrested and charged by Drumheller RCMP for break and enter, attempted theft of a motorvehicle, possession of stolen property, and other charges.
On February 20, Drumheller RCMP responded to an early morning break and enter in progress at the Canadian Badlands Passion Play site.
Following a thorough investigation, and with the assistance of some observant members of the public, two males were arrested at a residence in Nacmine and a large amount of stolen property was recovered including tools and equipment stolen from the passion play site, and a red Eton ATV.
