Two from Manitoba arrested in Cypress County on stolen property charges
CYPRESS COUNTY, AB — Redcliff RCMP arrested two people from Manitoba on multiple charges in connection with a robbery in Saskatchewan.
According to a news release sent Friday, officers with the Integrated Traffic Unit were patrolling the Trans-Canada Highway near Range Road 101 on March 14 when they came across a vehicle parked off the highway with two people inside.
Officers conducted a query of the Saskatchewan license plate, and discovered the car was allegedly associated with a robbery in Swift Current earlier that morning. Descriptions of the vehicle in the robbery, its occupants and damage caused when fleeing the scene matched the vehicle on the road.
The two occupants were detained, and when identified, it was discovered they were breaching conditions of a previous release in Manitoba, and were subsequently arrested.
