A suspicious vehicle complaint in Innisfail Friday morning has led to the seizure of drugs and stolen merchandise.

On Feb. 21 at approximately 12:10 a.m., Innisfail RCMP responded to a complaint of a black Mazda 6 that appeared to be prowling around Hooker’s Towing. Members located the vehicle in the McDonald’s drive thru and conducted a traffic stop.

A 27-year-old female and 34-year-old male, both from Calgary, were arrested.

Through investigation, police say the license plate on the vehicle was confirmed as stolen, with members locating methamphetamine and newly stolen catalytic converters inside the vehicle.

RCMP say the suspects are jointly charged with three counts each of possession of property obtained by crime, while the female suspect is also charged with possession of methamphetamine and other provincial offenses.
