Suspects arrested as RCMP recover stolen vehicle
Early this morning (August 9) Cranbrook RCMP received a complaint of a suspicious vehicle in the Wycliffe area.
RCMP members responded to investigate and located the vehicle with two occupants, a male and female, sleeping inside. Upon further investigation it was determined that the vehicle was stolen out of Alberta and a number of items in the vehicle appeared to be stolen.
The items included a number of firearms, one of which was loaded. The two occupants, both from Alberta, were taken into custody without incident and a number of charges are being considered at this time. Police continue to investigate the incident.
“Reports of suspicious vehicles can often lead to other investigations such as this. Calls from the public to the police are always appreciated when something out of place is observed in their neighbourhood,” said Sgt. Chris Dodds of Cranbrook RCMP.
The RCMP would also like to remind the public to keep their property out of sight and secure from thieves, to always record serial numbers, make, model, colour of your belongings and keep those records in a safe place at home.
Good record keeping can greatly assist police with retrieving and returning stolen property to the rightful owners.
