The Calgary man accused of tunnelling into his upstairs neighbour’s apartment ran his own criminal trial Monday.

Ben Maize is charged with mischief, and break and enter.

In the summer of 2025, Maize and his neighbour Betty Golightly lived in the same condo building in the southwest community of Coach Hill.

Golightly testified that she arrived home on Sept. 5 to find her apartment locked from the inside, then discovered holes in the drywall near her fireplace that appeared to lead to a tunnel to the unit below.

    Beyond weird. Dude tries to push this off on workmen who had scaffolding up against the building exterior, but what reason would they have had to make a tunnel between the units? This is just insane.
