WINNIPEG — The Supreme Court of Canada has dismissed an appeal filed by a former Winnipeg firefighter who was convicted of stealing from a dead woman’s apartment.

Darren Fedyck was found guilty in 2017 of theft under $5,000 and sentenced to six months in jail.

At his trial, court heard that his crew was called to a woman’s apartment in 2015 and his colleagues became suspicious of his behaviour.

A search of his jacket found cash along with two necklaces that he claimed were his.
