Aug 15, 2018 | 6:33 AM

BLACKFALDS- On August 14, Blackfalds RCMP were called to rural property in Red Deer County.

Two men attempted to steal a utility trailer from the property, they say.

The pair entered the property, exited their vehicles and advised the property owner that they were “repo people.”

They did not present themselves as people who would be on the property for that purpose and could not or would not produce documentation or identification.

Several attempts were made by the men to convince the property owner that they were there for a legitimate purpose up to and including the use of names of random people to convince the property owner.
