Window of opportunity

Simeonie Tookalook, 22, of Sanikiluaq was sentenced to 17 months for break and enter, assault and failure to comply with a probation order.

Tookalook and a friend broke into Sanikiluaq’s RCMP exhibit room and stole a “large” amount of marijuana, four 40-oz bottles of vodka and some magic mushrooms on April 27, the court heard.

The men entered the building through an open window.

The break and enter was a violation of a probation order from a previous unrelated charge.

The assault charge was in relation to a separate incident. Earlier this year, Tookalook walked up to a man in Sanikiluaq and “without provocation” punched the man in the side head.
