Charges laid after two break-and-enters
One man has been charged after two break-and-enters in the city’s northwest earlier this week.
On Sunday, Dec. 21, 2025, at around 3:50 a.m., a suspicious man was reported attempting to enter a residence in the 4600 block of 84 Street N.W. Police attended the scene, however they were unable to locate the man.
Later that morning, at around 5:40 a.m., homeowners in the 8600 block of 34 Avenue N.W. awoke to find an unknown man in their residence. Upon arrival, police located the suspect and confirmed he matched the description from the earlier attempted break-and-enter. He was taken into custody, charged and later released.
On Monday, Dec. 22, 2025, at around 8:35 a.m., police received information that there may be someone unlawfully inside a home under construction in the 3400 block of 86 Street N.W. Upon arrival, police located the same man who had been charged earlier this week.
One man has been charged in relation to both incidents.
Jett Ethan DEVOST, 22, of Calgary, has been charged with two counts of break and enter.
He will next appear in court on Friday, Jan. 23, 2026.
With the holiday season underway, we want to remind all Calgarians to ensure their homes are secure and to report any suspicious activity.
· Always lock doors and windows, even when you’re at home.
· Install security cameras with battery backup and lighting near entry points to stay protected.
· Ensure motion-sensor or timed outdoor lights are working.
· Avoid leaving mail or packages on your doorstep for extended periods. Consider other delivery options, such as work addresses, parcel lockers or community mailboxes. If packages are delivered to your home, request a signature or ask a trusted neighbour to collect them.
· Clean your driveway and walkways after snowfall to avoid making your home look unoccupied.
· Ask a trusted neighbour or friend to keep an eye on your property when you’re away.
· Lock car doors and never leave garage openers inside your vehicle.
· If you notice suspicious activity near your home or neighbourhood, report it to police.
