Nov 21, 2024 | 6:08 AM

Two people have been arrested following the seizure of multiple firearms and stolen property in Red Deer last week.

The arrests were made by Red Deer RCMP along with assistance from the Emergency Response Team and Police Dog Services.

On November 13, officers observed someone allegedly operating a vehicle while prohibited from doing so. Police say they did not pursue the driver out of concern for public safety, and located them again the next day instead. Officers conducted surveillance, which led to two arrests followed by a search of a vehicle, hotel room, and residence connected to the suspects.

As a result of the search, police say they found various items including a loaded stolen handgun, a long gun and a stolen license plate.

Joshua Severin, a 31-year-old resident of Red Deer, has been charged with the following offences:
