RCMP are highlighting the importance of reporting suspicious activity to police following the arrest of two people and the seizure of drugs and a stolen vehicle in central Alberta last week.
On March 31, 2023, at 9:03 a.m., Didsbury RCMP were notified of a suspicious vehicle on Township Road 293a in Mountain View County. En route to the location, patrol officers were notified the suspicious vehicle had been reported stolen out of Calgary. Officers located the vehicle parked on the shoulder of the road and arrested two male suspects.
Upon arrest, however, Mounties say one of the male suspects attempted to flee on foot through a field. A civilian working in the immediate area attempted to assist the officers in stopping the suspect, but it was at that time RCMP say the suspect informed the civilian he was armed and would shoot them if they didn’t move out of the way.
Fortunately, the suspect was quickly apprehended by officers without further incident. Officers did not locate a firearm on the suspect and the civilian was not harmed.
