The Cochrane RCMP Crime Reduction Unit, with assistance from the Southern Alberta General Investigation Section, have charged and arrested two prolific offenders.
During December 2024, the two groups were monitoring the release of two offenders who committed an armed robbery and stole a motor vehicle. RCMP located one offender in a stolen vehicle on Stoney Nakoda, who then fled from police. The offender was tracked to a residence in Calgary, where he was later arrested with assistance from Calgary Police Service without incident.
Later that month, Canmore RCMP responded to a break and enter where the second offender fled from police in a stolen vehicle. The offender was later located by authorities on foot. The offender deployed bear spray at an officer, but with assistance from RCMP Police Dog Services, the offender was apprehended and the officer was not injured.
From their investigation the RCMP recovered a stolen shotgun and four stolen vehicles. The two offenders were charged with a total of 27 Criminal Code offences.
