Vermilion RCMP have three people in custody after a semi-truck was trespassing on someone's property.
On Nov. 6, 2024, at approximately 9:37 p.m., Vermilion RCMP received a report from a property owner regarding a semi-truck trespassing on their property. The vehicle was associated to multiple files in the Killam, Kitscoty and Viking RCMP areas.
Officers promptly responded and located the semi-truck travelling westbound in the eastbound lane of Highway 16. Police activated their emergency equipment in an effort to ensure the safety of others on the Highway; this action prompted the driver to correct and return to the appropriate lane.
To further manage the situation Alberta RCMP Emergency Response Team were deployed with support from Police Dog Services, Air Services and Alberta RCMP Crime Reduction Unit. The semi-truck came to a stop north of Dewberry, Alta., where a female passenger exited the vehicle while the driver continued. A short time later a tire deflation device was used, which resulted in the apprehension of two additional male suspects.
