An Edmonton man and woman are facing numerous charges, stemming from an Edmonton Police Service (EPS) Special Projects Team investigation into stolen property and firearms.
In late March of 2024, an investigation was initiated into a residence in the area of 105 Street and 38 Avenue. A search warrant was executed by police on Mar. 31, 2024, when a 39-year-old female suspect was taken into custody, and arrest warrants were requested for a 37-year-old male suspect for his involvement.
As a result of the investigation, the seized property included:
-A stolen 2022 Honda CBR650 motorcycle, worth approximately $10,000
-A stolen 2007 Kawasaki EX650A motorcycle, worth approximately $3,500

On Apr. 23, 2024, the 37-year-old male suspect was arrested in the area of 142 Avenue and 80 Street in a stolen 2008 Honda Civic that was determined to have been re-vinned.
