Months-long investigation leads to arrest of wanted suspect
Following a complex, months-long investigation, we have located and charged a man wanted on 25 outstanding warrants.
In summer 2025, we began an investigation to locate a suspect charged with a variety of offences, including firearms-related offences and drug trafficking offences, who had failed to comply with his release conditions and did not attend court.
Over the next several months, investigators utilized investigative techniques and co-ordinated with several areas across the Service and our partners with the Alberta Sheriffs Fugitive Apprehension Sheriffs Support Team (FASST) to try and track the suspect, however, they were unsuccessful in locating him at the time.
In February 2026, officers located the suspect and observed him breaching his release conditions. When he returned to a residence in the 300 block of Third Street S.E., officers contained the residence to facilitate an arrest.
The suspect attempted to flee by climbing down the balconies of the building, but was arrested and taken into custody.
A search of the suspect’s vehicle resulted in the seizure of a folding combat knife.
