One person is in custody and will face charges related to at least one stolen vehicle recovered by Drumheller RCMP on Tuesday.
Drumheller RCMP, with the assistance of the RCMP Emergency Response Team, apprehended a suspect on October 23 in relation to a stolen vehicle which was found abandoned in Cambria after a lengthy police pursuit.
There are several suspects known to police in the investigation and the RCMP are actively pursuing the individuals. At least two of which are from the Drumheller area, RCMP say. Some suspects have ‘significant criminal records,’ with one currently wanted on an outstanding warrant.
Two suspected stolen vehicles were seized by police on Tuesday but the make and model are not being released at this time as the investigation is ongoing.
Police say the suspects in the investigation are potentially armed, could be dangerous, and are likely to run from police.
Charges have not yet been sworn and the name of the person in custody cannot be released at this time.
Drumheller RCMP had spent much of the day Tuesday looking for suspects in multiple reports of stolen vehicles in the area. The investigation began after two vehicles were stolen from a Dalum area farm on Tuesday morning. The suspect vehicles moved in and out of Drumheller RCMP jurisdiction before returning to the valley, with the Cambria suspect apprehended around 3:30 p.m.
