An ordinary night of patrolling the streets of Olds has led to an arrest in a vehicle theft from Calgary.

On Apr. 13, at approximately 2:15 a.m., Olds RCMP say they were patrolling in the area of 55 Street and 63 Avenue in Olds.

Mounties say they located a vehicle illegally parked on the wrong side of the street. Police checks of the license plate revealed the plate was not associated to the vehicle and a traffic stop was initiated. Further investigation discovered the vehicle to have been stolen out of Calgary.

The driver, and lone occupant of the vehicle was arrested. RCMP say a search of the vehicle found tools consistent with those used for the purpose of breaking and entering, a can of bear spray, and various credit cards and identification cards that did not belong to the driver.

The driver was also arrested on outstanding warrants for arrest. A 37-year-old male from Calgary is charged with:
