A prolific offender who prompted a 鈥榮helter in place鈥� warning in Cochrane, Alberta earlier this month has been busted in West 麻豆精选.
On Sep. 20, the RCMP Target Team located a suspect in a black Ford F150 pulling a travel trailer.
It was determined the trailer had been stolen overnight on Sep. 15, from a 麻豆精选 residence.
The truck and trailer were eventually stopped in West 麻豆精选, the driver was arrested, and officers determined the truck was stolen from Alberta.
Police said Gregory Deviat is well known to them and has several warrants and numerous charges pending from Alberta.
He is supposed to be on 24-hour house arrest in Cochrane.
RCMP said additional property found in the trailer is also believed to be stolen.
鈥淭his individual already has some significant charges before the courts, not to mention the several warrants out of Alberta,鈥� said Cpl. Guillaume Tanguay. 鈥淗is current court conditions did not deter him from coming to 麻豆精选 where he finds himself in custody with new charges.鈥�
Efforts to return Deviat to Alberta on the out-of-province warrants were unsuccessful, however, he has been remanded in custody until Sep. 28, to appear again by video.
