RCMP in central and southern Alberta joined forces and seized cell phones worth $40,000 and arrested an Innisfail resident.

In October, High Level RCMP detachment received a complaint of theft from a local communications provider regarding shipments of cell phones that went missing between Edmonton and their High Level destination.

An investigation was launched by High Level detachment which led investigators to Innisfail, Alberta.

Innisfail General Investigation Section executed a search warrant on a residence near Cannon Park in Innisfail Friday.
