Tips to the police from a local Strathmore business have resulted in police apprehending an offender who was wanted on 15 outstanding warrants.
On Thursday, April 21, at approximately 11:57 a.m. a local business reported two individuals left after they attempted to use several credit cards which were declined.
Strathmore RCMP members located the individuals in the parking lot getting into a vehicle. A traffic stop was initiated and the occupants were detained in relation to the misuse of credit cards. A search of the vehicle yielded several credit cards and identification not belonging to the three occupants of the vehicle.
A 29-year-old Calgary woman was released with a court date to face charges in relation to this matter. A 44-year-old Calgary man was found to be wanted on 15 outstanding warrants and was taken into custody. The remaining occupant, a 34-year-old Calgary man was issued three traffic violations including operating a vehicle without valid insurance.
“Thanks to the quick reporting by the store employee, Strathmore members were able to locate and apprehend those involved to prevent further offences,” said Staff Sergeant Mark Wielgosz, Detachment Commander, Strathmore RCMP.
The vehicle was towed from the site. RCMP says the matter remains under investigation, further charges may be laid as a result.
