Arrest made in Lac du Bonnet Ice Fishing Derby theft
RCMP have made an arrest in connection with the theft of $20,000 in prizes from the Lac du Bonnet Ice Fishing Derby.
Alexander Brincheski, 37, from Lac du Bonnet, is charged with two counts of possession of stolen property under $5,000 and one count each of possession of stolen property over $5,000 and theft under $5,000. The charges stem from a police executed search warrant at a residence in Lac du Bonnet last week where they say they recovered several prizes reported stolen from the derby as well as other items believed to have been stolen recently within the area.
On Sept. 11, Lac du Bonnet RCMP were notified that a chain link fence was cut and a locked trailer belonging to the Lac du Bonnet Ice Fishing Derby was broken into. The list of items taken includes ice augers, folding ice shelters, numerous knives, muti-tools, fishing rods and reels, flashlights, binoculars and clothing. The stolen prizes were identified as a significant setback as it represented a substantial investment of time and money and were purchased in preparation for the 2027 event in February.
On Sept. 23, RCMP executed the search warrant and arrested a male suspect at the residence during the search.
Brincheski has since been released with conditions pending a court date in Winnipeg for Oct. 5. The charges against him have not been tested in court and he is presumed innocent.
The Lac du Bonnet RCMP continue to sort though the items seized and itemizing every one of them. It may take some time to determine which property belong to whom and how much was recovered that belong specifically to the derby.
