Rookie Officer Keith Anderson Arrested for Breaking into Home

A rookie Alberta RCMP officer, who was a suspect in a break and enter, has now been charged with breaking into a home northwest of Calgary.

Mounties say the officer had only been on the job seven months and was on his first posting in Cochrane, Alta., when he was arrested.

Police say a relative of the homeowner found an off-duty Mountie early Sunday morning inside a home in the bedroom community.

When the constable was told to leave, he identified himself as a police officer and left but was arrested a short time later.

Keith Anderson, 22, has been charged with break and enter and is expected to appear in court March 9.

He has been suspended with pay pending the outcome of the court case.
