RCMP west of Edmonton have arrested and charged four individuals, who are suspected of breaking into an apartment building destroyed by fire, and making off with the belongings of residents living there.

Police began investigating weeks after the May 9 blaze that destroyed one apartment block in the Sonora Apartments in Stony Plain.

After some residents were allowed back into their homes, they found a number of items had been stolen.

Investigators said two complainants came forward – and earlier this week, two homes were searched by police.

RCMP found and seized a number of stolen items including cell phones, computers, guitars, TVs, stereos, an Xbox and dozens of games – more items had been reported stolen, but police discovered many of them had already been sold through Kijiji and other contacts.

Four teenaged men, Daniel Girard, 19, Brandon Stewart, 18, Raymond Krushinsky, 18, and Jesse Coulson, 18, are facing a number of charges including break and enter.

Girard is also facing charges of possession of stolen property and failing to comply with a probation order.

All four have been released on a number of conditions, including curfews, no contact orders with witnesses and the co-accused and checking in with police.

They’re all scheduled to appear in a Stony Plain courtroom July 31.

Many of the owners of the property have been found – but police are asking anyone who believes their property had been stolen in the incident to contact them.
