Five people, including four from Brazeau County, are facing charges after the Central Alberta Crime Reduction Unit recovered stolen property at a residential property in Brazeau County.

On February 26, police located a stolen truck at a property while patrolling in a known crime hotspot area.

A covert tire deflation device was successfully deployed and the truck ended up in a ditch. The Crime Unit, with help from Thorsby and Breton RCMP, arrested the three occupants of the truck.

The investigation revealed that property was missing from the stolen truck. A search warrant was then executed at a residence associated with the occupants of the stolen truck and two additional people were charged.

In their search, police located and seized a stolen 2007 Yamaha ATV and a loaded sawed-off 12-gauge shotgun that was hidden inside a vehicle on the property.

The five arrested individuals are facing a total of 19 offences.

Brittany Claire Huyghe (26) of Brazeau County was charged with four offences including possession of property obtained by crime.

Logan Merle Bruner (33) of Brazeau County was charged with six offences including possession of a prohibited weapon, dangerous driving and driving while unauthorized.

Robert James Letiec (30) of Brazeau County was charged with three offences including possession of property over $5000.

Robyn Quinn Karpiak (38) of Brazeau County was charged with three offences including possession of stolen property over $5000.

33-year-old Jason Sylvain Roy of Rocky Mountain House was charged with possession of property over $5000 and failing to comply with a Recognizance (x2).

Bruner and Roy remain in custody. The three remaining accused were released after a judicial hearing and will appear in court on March 11 in Breton.
