RCMP have arrested a man suspected of being an unwanted return Tim Hortons customer at more than a dozen locations in Saskatchewan and Alberta.
Mounties say a five-month investigation has led to the arrest of a Medicine Hat man suspected of burglarizing 17 of the coffee and donut restaurants across the two provinces.
The break-ins occurred between June and October at a dozen Tim Hortons locations in the Alberta communities of High River, Brooks, Rocky Mountain House, Hanna, Vermilion, Strathmore, Rocky View County, Didsbury, two in Wetaskiwin, Stettler and Drayton Valley.

A 25-year-old man was arrested last week in Saskatchewan after allegedly committing a burglary in that province, RCMP say.
After committing a break-in, the man was arrested outside a hotel in White City, Sask., Mounties said in a press release.
“A search warrant was executed on (the man’s) hotel room, vehicle, and apartment in Medicine Hat, which resulted in the seizure of a quantity of cash, tools, and firearms.”
It is believed the suspect broke into Saskatchewan locations in Swift Current, Saskatoon, Indian Head, Maple Creek and Kindersley.
He is charged with seven offences related to crimes in Saskatchewan including break-and-enter to commit theft and possession of break-in tools.
He’s charged with 31 similar offences in the Alberta burglaries, including unsafe storage of a firearm.
He was remanded ahead of his scheduled court appearance Wednesday in Regina.
