Red Deer Mounties seize electronic devices and identity documents at Highland Green residence

Charges are anticipated following the search of a local residence where police seized numerous electronic devices and identity documents of other people.

On Mar. 3, Red Deer RCMP’s Crime Reduction Team (CRT) executed a search warrant at a residence on Howlett Avenue in Red Deer’s Highland Green neighbourhood.

Mounties say an investigation began on Feb. 22, after the report of an attempted fraudulent online purchase and misuse of a credit card. RCMP say the owner of the credit card used in the transaction was alerted by the purchase and reported it to police.

Through investigation, CRT was able to determine the location of the attempted fraudulent purchase to be at a property on Howlett Avenue.
