Five people were arrested after a resident of Lone Rock posted a photo on social media of a suspicious vehicle driving around the hamlet and contacted the RCMP.

In a media release, police said the vehicle was located and pulled over five kilometres north of Lone Rock by the R.M. of Wilton officers with help from Maidstone RCMP.

Five people were arrested for possession of stolen property. A stolen vehicle was recovered in Lone Rock that was involved in a robbery in Wainwright earlier that morning.

The investigation remains ongoing and there are multiple charges pending for firearms and weapons offences, property crime and failure to comply with court orders, including a Canada wide warrant for parole violation.
