RCMP Report Pt. 2: Cochin robbery suspects arrested
An attempted vehicle theft resulted in three people being arrested in Cochin on Monday with weapons and break-in tools in hand.
Police received a report from a residence in the area that morning and located the vehicle a short distance away, arresting three subjects on the scene. Officers also recovered a machete, a knife and backpack full of break and enter tools.
At this time, Sgt. Neil Tremblay said the Battlefords RCMP don’t believe the theft was connected to others.
“This incident appeared more crime of opportunity,” he said. “They were located pretty quickly as members were already in the area.”
