Two men in electric ankle bracelets, monitored by justice officials, have been accused of a two-month spree of commercial break-ins, vehicle thefts and other property crimes. Police in Winnipeg and the Rural Municipality of Headingley have charged one suspect, Justin Andrew Hanson, 35, and are searching for Jesse Troy Lafreniere, 41.

The suspects were involved in 13 incidents between April 20 and June 28, where about $140,000 worth of property was reported stolen. The ankle-monitoring program is in place, but police acknowledge it is not foolproof.
