Airdrie RCMP arrest Red Deer man on outstanding warrants and locate loaded rifle

Charges have been laid against a Red Deer man arrested in Airdrie last week after Mounties spotted an individual wanted on outstanding warrants in the community.

On Mar. 10, Airdrie RCMP’s Crime Reduction Unit was on patrol when they recognized a male in a vehicle who they knew to have outstanding warrants in Airdrie’s Reunion neighbourhood. Members intercepted the male in a parking lot and he was arrested without incident.

Police say a search of the vehicle incidental to the arrest, lead to officers locating a loaded rifle, along with numerous tools that police believe were intended to be used as break-in instruments.
