Red Deer RCMP report that recent arrests include a large number of suspects wanted on warrants and many more who were found to be violating court imposed conditions.

RCMP made four arrests while responding to break and enters in progress and made more while doing targeted patrols in downtown Red Deer, on foot and in vehicles, as part of Red Deer’s Pinpoint crime reduction strategy to focus on repeat offenders and emerging issues.

Red Deer RCMP thank the public for reporting suspicious vehicles and activity across the city, which resulted in numerous more arrests over the past two weeks.
