Thirty charges, including stolen property, drugs and firearms offences, were laid against a Red Deer man spotted by police in the alley behind a north end strip mall before Christmas.
Red Deer RCMP arrested the 35-year-old just after 4 a.m. when police found him in a stolen vehicle with an “extensive amount” of stolen property, drugs and several firearms, according to a news release.
