In a convoluted series of events, a southern Alberta homeowner had multiple encounters with two suspects who allegedly broke in to their home.
In a news release Monday, RCMP said they received a call just after 11 a.m. Saturday about a break and enter at a property south of Coaldale.
Police said at least one of two suspects entered a home and stole jewelry, a laptop, an iPad and keys to a vehicle. The owner of the home interrupted the robbery and ended up chasing the suspects who left in a vehicle that belonged to the homeowner.

According to Staff Sgt. Glenn Henry, police were en route to the home when they happened upon a collision at the intersection of Highway 845 and Township Road 84.
Henry told Global News the collision involved the recently stolen vehicle – driven by the suspects, and a second vehicle – driven by the homeowner. He said the stolen vehicle stopped suddenly and was hit from behind by the homeowner.
