Charges have been laid after Mounties recovered three stolen trucks and two stolen snowmobiles from a rural residence east of Olds last Friday.

A search warrant resulted in the seizure of two stolen Ford F250 pickup trucks, a stolen Ford F350 pickup truck, and snowmobiles where the vin numbers were altered.

Police also say that a printer believed to be used in fabrication of vin numbers and stolen property from a previously reported break and enter to an Olds business in October 2019 was recovered.

Kevin Raymond Leischner, 48, of Mountain View County was arrested and has been charged with three counts of possession of stolen property obtained by crime over $5000, and two counts of possession of stolen property obtained by crime less than or equal to $5000.
