One man is facing a long list of charges following an auto theft investigation that began in winter.
In early February 2024, the Alberta RCMP Auto Theft Unit began an investigation into multiple vehicles that were suspected to be re-vinned and registered in Leduc and Calgary areas. As a result of the investigation, officers recovered a RAM 2500, RAM 1500 and a Chevrolet Cruze, all of which had been re-vinned.
The value of the vehicles recovered totals approximately $175,000.
Additionally, RCMP seized a loaded 9mm handgun which had the serial number removed.

- Unsafe Storage of a Firearm;
- Unauthorized Possession of a Firearm;

Mallhi was taken before a Justice of the Peace and released from custody with his next court date set for Aug. 15, 2024, at the Alberta Court of Justice in Leduc.
