A 37-year-old man is facing charges after allegedly breaking into the Royal Glenora Club early Sunday morning.
Edmonton police said they were called to the club at approximately 1:45 a.m.

The main pool and boy’s locker room was closed Sunday, McAvoy said.
"The team in total spent most of the day yesterday cleaning up the glass," Royal Glenora Club CEO Dustin McAvoy said. "There was, I wouldn't say excessive amounts of blood, but there was blood as well, from the individual from breaking through the glass ... He did a lot of damage in eight minutes of time."
The pool, the outdoor playoground, and the boys locker room will remain closed until the glass is cleaned.
