A vehicle stolen from Lloydminster turned up after arrests were made in Saddle Lake on December 10.

The Eastern Alberta District Rural Crime Reduction Unit (EADRCRU) conducted a search warrant at a home in Saddle Lake and recovered an ATM that had been stolen from the Carl Bull Store in Goodfish Lake.

Three people were arrested at the residence and a significant amount of evidence was seized from the location including a vehicle stolen from Lloydminster and a prohibited firearm.

The investigation continued and resulted in the collection of evidence and the recovery of the ATM stolen from the La Corey Esso.  Surveillance footage, physical evidence, and forensic evidence led to two of the arrested individuals being charged with multiple offences related to the break and enters.
