By Your Southwest Media Group
CONSORT - A 30-year-old man with ties to Kindersley and Medicine Hat has been remanded into custody following a break and enter investigation east of Consort.
On May 4, 2026, at approximately 6:30 p.m., Consort RCMP received a report of a male, a dog and a truck at a business location near Township Road 364 and Range Road 74, where no one was supposed to be present.
While responding, officers spotted a truck, male and dog matching the suspect description. Police initiated a traffic stop and the subsequent investigation led to the male being arrested for break and enter.
Further investigation revealed the suspect had a Canada-wide driving prohibition, outstanding warrants from Saskatchewan and was bound by numerous release conditions.
Jeffrey Joseph Proteau, listed as a resident of both Kindersley, Sask., and Medicine Hat, Alta., faces charges of break and enter (non-residential), mischief, driving while prohibited and three counts of failing to comply.
Proteau was remanded into custody following a judicial interim hearing. He was scheduled to appear on May 15, 2026, in Alberta Court of Justice in Red Deer.
A warrant extension was granted, and Proteau will be transported back to Saskatchewan to answer to his outstanding charges in that province.
Consort RCMP was assisted by Coronation RCMP in the investigation.
"This is a great example of how Alberta RCMP police officers are observant while they respond in order to ensure Albertans are protected," said Consort RCMP Detachment Commander Sgt. Jeremy Houle. "We work together with our surrounding detachments and interprovincially to ensure the safety of our citizens and businesses within our communities. Working in partnership and receiving support from our communities allows us to work better together."
