Parkland, Alta. –  In late Feb. 2026, prolific male and female property offenders were released after serving sentences for prior offences. One of the offenders was on conditions not to have contact with the other. 

On Mar. 6, in the early morning, a motor vehicle was stolen while from a residence in Stony Plain, Alta. Security footage from a neighbouring residence helped identify the possible suspects. Upon review, a female suspect was observed stealing the 2007 Kia Sportage. 

On Mar. 6, in the afternoon, a motor vehicle was stolen from a parking lot in Spruce Grove, Alta. Security footage was collected depicting the vehicle stolen from Stony Plain earlier, arriving at the location and a male passenger exiting to then steal a 2004 Ford F350 truck. 

On Mar. 7, a break and enter was reported at a commercial business in Spruce Grove. During the break and enter, a Cadillac ATS sedan was stolen and keys to multiple other vehicles were taken. Security footage from a neighbouring business was collected showing the stolen Kia Sportage at the scene and same individuals involved. 

On Mar. 8, a 2010 Toyota Prius was stolen from a church parking lot in Parkland County. A Cadillac sedan was observed in the area at the time. A short time later, the stolen Cadillac and stolen Toyota Prius arrived at a convenience store in Stony Plain, and a female suspect enters the store, fraudulently using stolen credit cards obtained from the Toyota Prius. This behaviour is repeated at a second convenience store in Stony Plain. 

On Mar. 10, Parkland RCMP members and Parkland plainclothes investigators attended a rural property in Parkland County and seized the stolen 2004 Ford F350 truck and a stolen 2024 Precision flat deck trailer from the property connected to one of the suspects. The Parkland RCMP Crime Reduction Unit took carriage of these investigations and coordinated efforts with policing partners to locate and apprehend these repeat property offenders. 

On Mar. 11, the K-Division Community Response Team (CRT) located the stolen Cadillac ATS in the Onoway area of Lac Ste. Anne County, occupied by both suspects. The vehicle travelled through both the areas of Lac Ste. Anne and Parkland County, being operated in a dangerous manner. RCMP Real Time Operations Centre (RTOC) was essential in coordinating the efforts of CRT, Parkland Plainclothes members, an RCMP Air Services helicopter, Police Dog Service, and RCMP uniform personnel from both Parkland and Evansburg detachments in the monitoring; allowing a successful deployment of a tire deflation device, which resulted in the vehicle being disabled and a safe arrest of both suspects. 

“Targeting repeat property crime offenders is a priority of ours,” says RCMP Sergeant Collin Kuca. “The Parkland Crime Reduction Unit will relentlessly pursue the individuals responsible for these activities and partner with other units to share resources and intelligence, which furthers this goal.” 

A 28-year-old, resident of Onoway, was arrested and charged with the following offences: 

• Theft over $5,000 x2;
• Failure to comply with release order x6;
• Possession of property obtained by crime x2;
• Dangerous operation of a motor vehicle;
• Flight from police;
• Theft from motor vehicle.

A 19-year-old, resident of Stony Plain, was arrested and charged with the following offences: 

• Theft over $5,000 x3;
• Failure to comply with release order x8;
• Possession of property obtained by crime x4;
• Dangerous operation;
• Flight from police; and
• Fraudulent use of a credit card x3. 

Both were both remanded into custody with their next court appearances on Mar. 30, 2026, at the Alberta Court of Justice in St Albert.
