Regina Police Thwart Early Morning Break-in at College Avenue Condo Site, Two Charged

There’s always a bit of a buzz, or perhaps more accurately, a chill, that runs through a community when property crime strikes, especially at a busy construction site. Well, Regina residents can breathe a sigh of relief as local police recently acted swiftly, bringing a halt to an early morning break-in attempt and laying charges against two individuals.

It all unfolded in the pre-dawn quiet of Sunday, January 21st, around 2:50 a.m., when the Regina Police Service received an urgent call. The report? A suspected break-in was underway at a condo construction site, a significant development located at 2110 College Avenue. Officers wasted no time, heading straight to the scene, their eyes peeled for any signs of activity.

Upon arrival, it didn't take long for officers to spot two individuals fitting the description of the suspects. And wouldn't you know it, as soon as they realized they’d been made, one of the men apparently tried to make a run for it – a rather futile attempt, as he was quickly apprehended. Both suspects were then taken into custody, their brief escapade brought to a definitive end.

The individuals were identified as 33-year-old Michael Anthony Pasloski and 33-year-old Christopher Lee Cote. Both men are now facing charges of break and enter as well as possession of break-in instruments. Furthermore, Cote had the added complication of having outstanding warrants for his arrest, making his situation even more complex.

Both Pasloski and Cote were slated to make their initial court appearances in Regina Provincial Court on Monday, January 22nd. This incident serves as a clear reminder that our local police force remains vigilant, dedicated to protecting our community's assets and ensuring that those who attempt to disrupt peace and order are swiftly brought to justice. It's good to know someone's always watching, even in the dead of night.
