Kitscoty RCMP arrest male found with stolen vehicle

Kitscoty RCMP have charged a man with possession of stolen property.

On Tuesday, April 11, at approximately 6:12 p.m., Kitscoty RCMP received a complaint of a suspicious male looking for fuel at a rural residence south of Lloydminster. 

A member of the Kitscoty RCMP Crime Reduction Unit attended the area and located the male in the drivers seat of a vehicle.

Police say their investigation determined the vehicle had been reported stolen from Lloydminster several days prior.

As a result of the investigation, Brandon Heuvel, 28, a resident of Lloydminster, was arrested and charged with the following possession of stolen property over $5000. 

Following the investigation, Heuvel was released on an undertaking with court set for May 23, 2023, at Alberta Court of Justice in Lloydminster.

“This is yet another great example of a call from a concerned citizen resulting in the apprehension of an individual involved in criminal activity,” says Sgt. Corey Buckingham, Kitscoty RCMP Detachment Commander.
