Red Deer RCMP recent arrests include identity theft and firearms offences
City Mounties say many of their recent arrests were thanks to vigilant citizens reporting suspicious activity. Others, they say, were the result of police locating stolen vehicles or suspects wanted on warrants while doing targeted policing in identified crime hot spots, as part of Red Deer’s Pinpoint crime reduction strategy.
“Pinpoint uses an intelligence-driven policing model to identify problem areas, repeat offenders and emerging issues, and Red Deer RCMP target their enforcement accordingly,” Red Deer RCMP say in a media release.
Here’s a look at some of their recent arrests:
Shortly before 2 a.m. on February 15, RCMP attended a hotel in response to a report of suspicious activity in two of the rooms. RCMP arrested a man and a woman and seized a stolen truck, stolen and forged documents including credit cards, and a sawed off shotgun. The truck had been reported stolen out of Red Deer on February 3 after it was left unlocked and running.
