Thief nabbed in Cambridge Bay

A one-man crime spree came to an end after police caught a suspect in a series of break-ins in Cambridge Bay over the holidays.

Clifford Koplomik, 18, is serving time in prison in Yellowknife after he admitted to breaking into four businesses on Boxing Day.

Koplomik busted into government offices, Nattuk Plumbing, the Cambridge Bay Housing Association, and the elementary school, making off with $150 and a bottle of liquor.

Besides the break-ins, Const. Paul Paquin said the holidays were “relatively quiet,” with only several reported assaults.
