Red Deer RCMP return stolen property to owner
Red Deer RCMP have reunited an owner with their valuable property after a successful joint detachment effort to recover two stolen bicycles worth approximately $7,000.
On May 12, Red Deer RCMP were contacted by police at the Wainwright detachment regarding two bicycles posted on Kijiji for sale in the Red Deer area. The owner of the bicycles had been keeping a watchful eye out on classifieds websites for his property, when he discovered the ads and called his local police department.
Mounties say the owner was able to provide police with a list of identifying marks to confirm their ownership of the bicycles in the ad.
Red Deer RCMP conducted an investigation that led them to a residence in Oriole Park. At this residence, officers observed a man leaving with one of the bicycles. Officers intercepted and arrested the suspect. The second bike was later seized from the residence in Oriole Park.
