A man living near Waskatenau was driving home on the 22nd, when he came across a rather unsettling sight. Two people were in another one of his cars and driving off with it.
In an attempt to stop them, he parked his car in front of the vehicle but they were able to escape, damaging his car in the process. Fortunately he was not injured.
Smoky Lake RCMP patrolled the area and were eventually able to find the stolen vehicle on Highway 28. It was parked next to another car and Police believe the suspects were trying to break into that one as well. Both fled on foot but were arrested a short time later.
Conrad Tyler Quewezance, a 31-year-old from Calgary was charged with:
- Theft of vehicle (x2)
- Theft of trailer
- Assault with weapon
- Resist arrest
- Fail to comply with recognizance (x2)
- Theft under 5000.00
- Traffic Safety Act – drive while unauthorized
Marina Dawn Smith, a 27-year-old from Frog Lake was charged with:
- Assault with a weapon
- Resisting arrest
- Breach of probation (x3)
- Theft of vehicle (x2)
- Theft of trailer
- Traffic Safety Act – driving without a licence
Both were remanded into custody and will appear in Fort Saskatchewan Provincial court on Sept. 29th, 2016.
As this matter is now before the courts, RCMP say there will be no further updates in relation to this investigation.
