The male was arrested without incident and is in custody pending further direction from Lacombe Police Service and Red Deer RCMP.
The subject from Alberta was alleged to have been involved in a theft of firearms on June 23 in Lacombe. There was intelligence that the subject may have a handgun in his possession, hence the high-risk take down.
