A 35-year-old man has been arrested for a series of thefts across the western provinces.
The Edmonton Police Service’s Police Electronic Response Team (PERT) have been doing an investigation into property trafficking — in co-ordination with multiple RCMP jurisdictions — which kicked off after a vehicle was reported stolen.
A search warrant was issued and executed in early November. Police found “a myriad of reported and non-reported theft occurrences stretching across B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan,” according to a press release Monday.
The total value of the stolen goods is around $500,000. Roughly $125,000 worth of stolen items have been recovered and returned to their rightful owners, police said.
