MRC des Collines arrested 32-year-old Jeffrey Dallaire for allegedly breaking into Edelweiss Ski Resort and defecating in the administrative office.

Police say a man broke into Edelweiss June 3rd and spend most of the night ‘stealing a variety of objects, such as liquor bottles, boxes of chocolates, cash, tools and metals, all the while taking the time to defecate in the administration office’.

Dallaire and his 59-year-old father were arrested Wednesday morning at their residence on P’tit Canada Road in La Pêche.

During their search, police found several stolen items inside the residence as well as in the family vehicle. Officials say the theft is being valued at more than $5,000.00.

Police say Dallaire is known to them and has a long criminal record. Officials say he was on probation for committing similar crimes.

His father has been released from custody; police say is facing charges of drug possession and trafficking stolen goods.
