The Red Deer RCMP announced on March 11, 2026, that they had recovered a firearm and a pick-up truck stolen from the Inglewood neighbourhood. Two men were arrested on February 20, 2026, following a collision involving the stolen vehicle and a short foot pursuit.
The pick-up truck was first reported stolen on February 20 at about 6:45 a.m. Later that morning, at approximately 11:30 a.m., the vehicle was involved in a collision with a van at 47 Avenue and Molly Bannister Drive. Local officers say that finding the vehicle and the gun helps remove potential dangers from the city streets and returns stolen property to the community.
The Crime Reduction Team, which is a specialized group that investigates property crimes, was in the area and located the vehicle shortly after the theft. While the arrests occurred in late February, details of the investigation and the 30 resulting charges were made public this week. By taking these items out of circulation, police hope to improve safety for residents and discourage further criminal activity involving stolen property.
