MILLCREEK, Utah — A 43-year-old man in Millcreek has been arrested after he allegedly broke into his neighbor's garage on Thanksgiving and stole items from it. Jason Raoul J Canet, 43, was arrested on Thursday and faces charges of burglary, theft of over $500 in value, and prohibited dangerous weapon conduct.
According to court documents, on Thursday at around 12:41 p.m., officers were called to the 800 block of West Meadowbrook Expressway for a reported burglary.
When officers arrived, they contacted the victim, who stated that sometime during the week, someone had cut a hole from one garage into another to make entry. The victim stated that around $1,100 worth of clothing, tools, shoes, games, and other items were stolen.
