"They were able to enter the property, secure the vehicle, and arrest the male involved," said Martins. "The male involved is named Brad Turlock. He's a 34-year-old resident of Spruce Grove."

Martins says that the arrest was made with specialized support from the RCMP Real Time Operations Centre. As for Turlock, he was taken into custody on several outstanding warrants and charged with possession of stolen property over $5,000.
