Three people face several criminal charges following their arrests in central Alberta last week.

RCMP say it was about 5 a.m. on Nov. 30 when Innisfail detachment members observed a person known to them allegedly violate his court-imposed conditions by leaving his home in Penhold, and leave in a vehicle.

With assistance from Blackfalds detachment, a traffic stop was conducted on Hwy 2A leaving Penhold.

Three occupants in the vehicle were located allegedly in possession of two firearms. The vehicle and guns were seized, and the occupants, two males and one female, were arrested, police say.

Search warrants were then executed on the Penhold home, as well as the vehicle — assistance provided by Southern Alberta Crime Reduction Unit (SACRU), Forensic Identification Section (FIS), and the National Weapons Enforcement Support Team (NWEST) along with Blackfalds and Innisfail ITU.

Innisfail RCMP add that they believe the firearms seized are related to a recent B&E in Innisfail, and are continuing to investigate.

“Innisfail RCMP are encouraging the community to report criminal or suspicious activity when it is observed as too often incidents are reported long after the incident,” RCMP say in a release.

“Reports tell us where to look, who to look for, and where to patrol in the future. If you see a crime in progress, dial 911.”
