Innisfail resident arrested through surveillance program

Aug 7, 2024 | 3:19 PM

An Innisfail resident has been arrested after being surveilled through a habitual offender management program, police say.

On August 6, Innisfail RCMP observed a “high risk repeat offender” allegedly driving a truck with a flatbed trailer while under a criminal suspension from vehicle operation.

RCMP, aware of this sentencing condition, arrested the individual without incident for driving while suspended. A search of his truck and trailer allegedly resulted in the seizure of:

• Over 1500 lbs of stripped copper wire
• Dozens of break and enter tools
• Untaxed illegal cigarettes
• Stolen licence plate
• Bear spray and machetes

Police say they found numerous other tools they believed to be stolen property and are working on locating the owners.
