Red Deer RCMP with the assistance of the Emergency Response Team and Police Dog Services, have arrested two individuals and seized multiple firearms and stolen property after an investigation was initiated on November 13th.
Officers had observed an individual driving a vehicle, while they were prohibited from doing so.
Out of concern for public safety police did not pursue the driver.
The following day, the same individual was located again by police, which ultimately led to the coordinated arrests of two individuals.
A search warrant was executed on a vehicle, a hotel room and a residence connected to the suspects.
RCMP recovered various items including a loaded stolen handgun, a long gun and a stolen license plate.
As a result, a 31 year old male and 33 year old female, both residents of Red Deer, have been charged with multiple offenses including unauthorized possession of a firearm in a vehicle.
Both were taken before a Justice of the Peace and were remanded into custody. Their last court date was on November 18th at the Alberta Court of Justice in Red Deer.
