Police say more than 100 stolen vehicles, trailers, farming equipment and other machinery was seized in an investigation involving ALERT in Camrose.

The Alberta Law Enforcement Response Team’s (ALERT) Auto Crimes Unit conducted search warrants at 17 locations, mostly in Camrose, but also in Camrose County, Ponoka County, and the Rural Municipality of Hillsdale, Sask — all part of a lengthy investigation into organized crime, ALERT notes in a release.

Due to the volume of items recovered, ALERT is still in the process of cataloguing and processing seized evidence, the law enforcement agency says.

“ALERT appreciates the public interest and support of this investigation, but we ask for patience as the evidence is being processed,” said Acting Staff Sergeant Michael Fehr, ALERT Edmonton. “Once all the items are documented, investigators will work toward identifying and contacting the rightful owners.”

Several suspects have been identified, however charges are yet to be laid.
