Red Deer RCMP have recovered more than $100,000 worth of electronic goods and DVDs reported stolen from stores across Alberta and British Columbia.
Undercover officers seized the property during a search warrant on a home in Inglewood on Monday. Three people were arrested inside the home, two of whom who have since been charged.
More than 2,500 new DVD and Blu-Ray discs, scores of televisions, various video games including Wii Games and Xbox 360, and a number of computers were hauled out of the residence.
Red Deer city RCMP spokeswoman Const. Sabrina Grunow said the items are now tucked away in locked storage.
Police are now trying to unravel where all the goods came from. Police do know the property comes from retail stores from across Alberta and B.C., but how many is uncertain.
Grunow could only say numerous communities were targeted.
How the property ended up in Red Deer is unknown and is part of the police investigation. RCMP from Sylvan Lake and Red Deer are involved.
