RCMP were able to recover a truck and cargo trailer stolen from a business just north of High River, thanks in part to an alert motorist earlier this week.
Two unidentified males gained entry to Factory Outlet Trailers situated on Highway 2A, north of High River on Aug. 12 at around 5 p.m.
The suspects, arrived in a newer model dark grey Ford F150 pickup, which was previously reported stolen from Calgary. This vehicle, which eventually fled the area, was towing a cargo trailer taken from Factory Outlet Trailers. Also, taken from the same business was an older model Ford SRW pickup, white in colour.
A passing motorist, who thought the men's activities were suspicious, alerted RCMP.
Upon arriving, police determined access was gained by cutting the gate hinges at the entrance to a nearby business and then cutting through a fence between the two.
Both truck and trailer, which had been stolen from the site north of High River, were discovered as abandoned and recovered by Calgary Police Service and returned to their owners. The dark grey Ford F150 pick-up truck has not been located.
