Police arrested a Red Deer man with possession of a stolen property over $5,000.
A call of an abandoned vehicle on Wednesday, March 9 helped recover a vehicle reported stolen out of Lacombe. A short distance later, police say they found a 28-year-old Red Deer man matching the description of the person in the vehicle.
He was detained by police and the subsequent investigation led to investigators finding Tylenol 4s, for which he did not have a prescription. Police charged the man with breaching recognizance and being in possession of a controlled substance.
Police did not say if the man was also charged with possession of stolen property over $5,000.
