LETHBRIDGE, AB – Lethbridge Police’s Crime Suppression Team has already made its first arrest.

The first shift for the team was bitterly cold, but LPS says officers were able to arrest two car prowlers and returned a stolen jacket to its rightful owner.

Police say that just after 10:00 p.m. on January 15, members of the team saw two people testing out car door handles in the area of St. Catherine’s Road North.

A male and female were arrested for tampering with a motor vehicle, according to a release from LPS. They say that upon a search incidental to arrest, police found a new winter jacket, a pair of sunglasses, two gift cards, a small “distinctive” change purse and lottery tickets.

The release stated that the make took police back to the vehicle where the jacket had been stolen before it was returned to its rightful owner. Police have yet to identify the owner of the sunglasses and other property.
