High River woman charged in gym locker thefts: police

Police say a 37-year-old woman is facing several charges in connection with a string of thefts from gym lockers across Calgary.

Calgary police say the service received several reports of gym thefts at recreation centres across the city starting in March.

Wallets, bank cards and ID documents were stolen in each incident, they say.

Police say investigators identified a suspect in two thefts that occurred at the Southland Leisure Centre on Jan. 30 and Feb. 15.

They say a joint investigation with the CPS prolific offender engagement team and High River RCMP allowed them to execute a search warrant at a home in High River and recover several stolen IDs.

As a result, police say Nicole Kathryn Kiser was charged with four counts of stolen credit cards and four counts of theft under $5,000.

She appeared in court on Monday.

Police say they’ve received more than 60 reports of locker thefts at several locations in the city since last November.
