RCMP in central Alberta are searching for a group of thieves they say stole five vehicles from a local car rental company in the early hours of Monday, July 3.
Red Deer RCMP said around 12:30 a.m., the suspects broke into the return key box by prying it out of the cement.
Police said the suspects first stole three vehicles: a Ford Fusion car, a cargo truck and a cargo van.
RCMP said three men then returned to the location at 1:45 a.m. and stole the remaining two vehicles in the lot: a Dodge Ram truck and a Jeep Compass SUV.
One of the men was captured on video inside a Ford truck suspected of being used in the theft. Police have released photos in hopes of identifying him.
Two of the stolen vehicles have since been recovered: the Jeep was found abandoned this past Saturday night in Red Deer, while the Ford was recovered Sunday by police who responded to a report of a suspicious vehicle and arrested the 26-year-old man inside the car.
Three of the vehicles are still missing:
- White 2017 Ford Transit van, Alberta license plate E11699
- White 2017 GMC Savanna van, Ontario license plate AS87748
- Silver 2017 Dodge Ram, Alberta license plate L86939
Anyone with information is asked to contact Red Deer RCMP at 403-343-5575, or submit their tip anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or report it online.
