A 64-year-old man from Rocky View County has been charged after RCMP officers executed a search warrant at his rural property, leading to the recovery of more than $300,000 worth of stolen property and illicit drugs.

The items included a 2023 Dodge Ram pickup truck, a 2013 Triumph Thruxton 900 motorcycle, a holiday and utility trailer, and two high-value aesthetic laser devices that were taken during a break-and-enter in Calgary in 2024. Additionally, over 100 grams of suspected methamphetamine and MDMA were found on the premises.

The man is facing several charges related to possession of stolen property, forgery, fraud, and possession of controlled substances. The investigation was initiated by a tip from the RCMP Auto Theft Unit and exemplifies the success of inter-unit collaboration in combating property crime and its impact on communities.
