A man with a history of break and enters in the Prince Albert area, is again wanted by the RCMP.

Blaine Lake RCMP have issued a warrant for the arrest of Jade Ermine. It’s alleged he was one of three people who entered a farm yard on August 14 and proceeded to siphon gas out of a slip tank.

Efforts by the RCMP Tuesday to locate Ermine have been ongoing since approximately 2 p.m. During their search efforts, an RCMP officer was injured and transported to hospital for non-life threatening injuries.

In January 2018, Ermine was one of three people charged in connection to a home invasion at a rural property. He was later found not guilty after a Prince Albert judge found the homeowner’s use of the internet may have influenced her testimony in the case.

The very same month, Ermine was charged in connection to a break and enter and theft from a Prince Albert business. Two trucks, an ATV, numerous electronics and tools were stolen.
