As part of a crime reduction initiative that began in July 2020, a search warrant was executed on a Lloydminster property on Oct. 1, 2020 in relation to a property crime investigation.
As a result of the investigation and executed warrant, Lloydminster RCMP with assistance from the RCMP Auto Theft Unit recovered a variety of stolen items with an estimated value of $120,000. The items included: RV travel trailers, enclosed hauling trailers, ATV's, a flat deck trailer, a firearm, and numerous other items deemed to be obtained by the commission of a crime.
A 41-year-old male of Lloydminster has been charged with possession of property obtained by crime (x14), altering vehicle identification numbers (x2), firearms offences (x4), uttering forged documents (x6) and possession of methamphetamine.
He was also wanted at the time of his arrest for failing to comply with conditions of a release document from a previous charge of theft. He was released after a judicial hearing and is set to appear in Lloydminster Provincial Court on Nov. 3, 2020.
Lloydminster RCMP will continue this crime reduction initiative to target those who victimize the citizens of our city.
