Owner of stolen vehicle helps City Mounties make arrest

RCMP seized a loaded sawed-off shotgun, a knife, a tool used to break into vehicles, ammunition and drug paraphernalia. The suspect was under a number of court-imposed weapons prohibitions and RCMP determined that the shotgun had been stolen and its serial number defaced.

“RCMP always caution the public not to engage with criminals or put themselves in harm’s way, especially because, as demonstrated in this instance, the criminals may be carrying weapons,” says Corporal Karyn Kay of the Red Deer RCMP.

“However, we sincerely thank this citizen for his intervention. He did the right thing – he stayed back to let the police do their jobs, then offered assistance at a crucial point, taking direction from the police officer. He played an important role in our getting to an outcome where no one was injured.”

Corim Kyle Conway was wanted on nine outstanding warrants at the time of his arrest for offenses that included theft of motor vehicle and failing to comply with conditions. He now faces the following additional charges: possession of stolen property over $5,000, resist/ obstruct peace officer, fail to comply with conditions x 3, firearm or weapons possession contrary to prohibition order x 4, careless use of a firearm, carry concealed weapon, possess firearm while knowing possession is unauthorized, possess prohibited firearm with ammunition, possession of weapon obtained by crime, possession of firearm knowing the serial number had been altered, possess break-in instruments.

Conway was remanded to appear in court in Red Deer on October 2. The stolen silver 2003 Dodge Durango is still outstanding and Red Deer RCMP continue to investigate.
