Two people have been taken into custody and a third person is wanted on several charges following the spotting of a stolen vehicle by the Western Alberta District Crime Reduction Team earlier this month.

Mounties say on May 20 at approximately 9 p.m., CRU members were on patrol of a rural area when they spotted a wanted male in a stolen vehicle. RCMP attempted to make contact with the vehicle when it took off from police. 

The vehicle was found a short time later and two of the three occupants were arrested without incident. 

Police Dog Services attended in search of the third suspect, but he was not located.

Adam James Barass, 33, of Yellowhead County faces three charges including possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000, possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000 and possession of break-in instruments.
