A former Winnipeg police constable who admitted to stealing cash and other items he thought were evidence during a 2024 “integrity test” avoided jail time during an emotional court hearing on Wednesday, after he reached a joint sentencing recommendation with prosecutors.
Matthew Kadyniuk, 34, pleaded guilty to breach of trust and theft under $5,000 in January. He was arrested alongside now-imprisoned former officer Elston Bostock following an October 2024 undercover operation that was part of a months-long police investigation into Bostock.
An undercover RCMP officer posed as a victim of a vehicle break-in, telling the two officers who responded to the call — Bostock and Kadyniuk — that he’d confronted the suspect and ripped a backpack off him as he ran.
