Two central Alberta residents arrested in Oyen

Two men from central Alberta have been arrested after they fled from police in Oyen.

The Oyen RCMP say on April 20, officers responded to a residence after a concerned resident reported that two people were on her property unlawfully.

When Mounties arrived, the two suspects fled on foot but were caught nearby and arrested with help from neighbouring detachments, Alberta Sheriffs, and residents.

Police recovered multiple items as a result of the investigation, including a truck that was stolen in Stettler, a loaded sawed-off shotgun, jaws of life, a slip tank, and a quantity of substances suspected to be methamphetamine and cocaine. They also recovered numerous stolen items and break-and-enter tools.
