In September of 2026, the Winnipeg Police Service’s Property Crime Unit (PCU) launched an investigation into a series of residential break-ins in the Osborne Village neighbourhood.

Between September 13 and 14, 2026, three separate break-ins occurred at residences in the 200 block of Stradbrook Avenue. In each incident, entry was gained through a window. On two occasions, an unknown suspect fled after encountering the homeowners inside the residences. No personal property was reported stolen, and no injuries resulted from the incidents.

Through continued investigation,  PCU investigators identified a suspect.

On October 13, 2026, just before 10:00 a.m., Central District General Patrol officers located the suspect walking in the 200 block of Princess Street. He was arrested without incident.

Curtis Leroy GEORGE, (34), has been charged with the following:

  • Break & Enter with Intent – Dwelling House x 3
  • Fail to Comply with Probation Order x 4

He was detained in custody.
