On Monday evening, RCMP tweeted that an “event in Sylvan Lake” had come to an end without any injuries and that three people had been taken in to custody.
On June 22, three residents of Sylvan Lake were charged.
Bradley Douglas Stephenson, 30, has been charged with possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000, three counts of possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000, possession of an instrument used to forge credit cards and two counts of disobeying a court order.
Timothy John Knowles, 33, has been charged with possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000, three counts of possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000, possession of an instrument used to forge credit cards, four counts of disobeying a court order, two counts of failing to comply with an undertaking, one count of identity fraud and nine charges from Red Deer RCMP for an outstanding warrant.
Leith Alexandra Curtis, 33, was charged with possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000, three counts of possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000, possession of an instrument used to forge credit cards and four counts of failing to comply with a probation order.
All three remain in custody and will appear in Red Deer Provincial Court on Thursday.
Earlier in the day on Monday, RCMP asked the public to avoid the area of Westview Drive in Sylvan Lake as officers responded to “a disturbance in the area.”
Late Monday night, Mounties issued a release to say officers had been responding to an initial report of neighbours hearing what sounded like a gunshot coming from somewhere in or around a home.
Police added “an investigation into this event will continue through the night” and that more details would be released Tuesday.
Residents were being asked to follow police instructions to ensure their safety. People were also being urged not to post anything to social media with regards to police activity in the area in order to protect the safety of officers and the public.
