RCMP charge suspects from rural pursuit near Bassano
BASSANO, AB – RCMP have laid 28 charges against three suspects allegedly involved in rural pursuit through farmers’ fields earlier this week.
Authorities were alerted early Tuesday morning at 4:30 am at a business in Hussar after suspects stole an ATM, before responding to a call of an attempted theft from a rural property north of Bassano.
The victim had followed the suspects who fled in a vehicle, but stopped after one of the suspects leaned out the window of the vehicle and pointed a gun at the victim.
RCMP were finally able to arrest the suspects after a pursuit through the rural Bassano area led to the suspects’ vehicle being stuck in a farmer’s field.
