The Vermilion RCMP says four people are in custody after a bust in Vermilion recovered numerous allegedly illegal or stolen items.
On July 29th, officers pulled over a truck and travel trailer during a routine check-stop on Highway 16 in Minburn County. During the stop, officers determined that the licence plate did not match the trailer. As such, a search was initiated.
During the search, the driver and the passenger took off on foot into a wooded area. To assist in the search, officers from Vermilion, Vegreville and police dog squads from Cold Lake and St. Paul were brought in. The two suspects, along with two others found inside the trailer, were all arrested.
“The outcome of the application will determine the fate of all the charges,” said Neufeld. “If we are successful at keeping the evidence out the charges will likely go away. If not, there will likely be pleas entered.” To allow time for the preparation of the applications, Neufeld asked the court for a lengthy adjournment. Federal Crown Prosecutor Vic Findlater agreed to the adjournment. Defense will have its Charter submissions in to the federal Crown by Oct. 31 and the Crown will respond to the application by Nov. 30. Judge M.E. Baldwin set the Charter application for Jan. 6, 2022.
