    Officers arrested and charged two suspects in connection with all 14 robberies.

    Bandon Stevens, 29, is charged with 49 criminal counts that include burglary, theft of a motor vehicle, possession of a controlled substance and failure to comply with a court order.

    Jessica Hennessey, 29, is charged with 15 criminal counts, including burglary, possession of a controlled substance and failure to comply with a court order.

    Of the 14 vehicles, the police found 11.

    “By devoting resources to monitoring our most prolific offenders, we can more quickly identify crimes they may be connected to and take steps to prevent further victimization,” said Acting Sgt. Dan de Villenfagne with CPS’ car theft team.

    “In this case, offenders sought to capitalize on crimes of opportunity, and were able to steal a large number of uninsured vehicles from citizens and businesses in Calgary.”

    Calgary police encourage people to never leave a spare key or garage door opener in or around the vehicle, and never leave a running vehicle unattended.

    Also, never leave children or pets in a running vehicle, or valuables and identity documents, police said in a news release Tuesday.
