Three Hills RCMP have arrested a man and woman from Red Deer for stolen property as the result of a search warrant near Kneehill.

On May 21, officers attended a rural property to serve court documents when they located a wanted female inside the residence.

During the warrant apprehension, police located a large amount of what was believed to be stolen copper wire in a bedroom.

As a result, Three Hills RCMP, with the assistance of the Southern Alberta Crime Reduction Unit, executed a search warrant and located a large quantity of stolen copper wire in the residence and in an outbuilding on the property. A male was also located hiding in a travel trailer and arrested without incident.

Police say 2,100 pounds of wire was recovered worth an estimated $9600.
