Calgary stolen vehicles investigation yields weapons, fraudulent IDs [Video]

An investigation into stolen vehicles and dangerous driving in Calgary led police to seize weapons, drugs and stolen and fraudulent ID documents.

The Calgary Police Service launched its investigation this month and identified a man as a prolific offender who was in breach of his court-ordered conditions, which barred him from driving.

On Sept. 19, officers spotted a stolen 2001 Chevrolet Silverado being driven by a man with a woman as a passenger.

Police were able to arrest the man and woman without incident, after they stopped at the Save-On-Foods located at 101 97 Centre St. in Langdon, Alta.

Officers searched the vehicle and found a small amount of drugs, a semi-automatic shotgun, two cans of bear spray, a hatchet, a knife and approximately 30 stolen or fraudulent identification documents.
