LETHBRIDGE, AB- Lethbridge Police have charged three people after members of the Crime Suppression Team (CST) recovered a vehicle that had been reported stolen in Pincher Creek.

On June 15, 2020, a CST member noticed a stolen Dodge Charger travelling in the area of 2A Avenue and 13 Street North.

Police proceeded to follow the driver to a business along the 500 block of 13 Street North. The driver seemed to notice the Police were following him, so the driver revved the car’s engine to flee the scene, but didn’t end up going anywhere.

The driver and two passengers were arrested and police seized a small quantity of fentanyl, methamphetamine, bear spray, and a knife after searching the vehicle.
