On April 1st, 2020, at approximately 1 p.m., the Stettler RCMP attended to a rural residence on Hwy. 601 in Stettler County.
The RCMP were looking for Ernest Bedore who was wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for being unlawfully at large. Stettler RCMP located a stolen vehicle being driven on the property.
The driver of the vehicle revved the engine several times at the member on scene before backing up and crashing into another parked vehicle on the property.
The truck was then abandoned on the property. Stettler RCMP asked for assistance from Stettler Integrated Traffic Unit, Bashaw RCMP and Red Deer City Police Dog Service.
As a result of the combined effort of these units, the stolen truck was recovered and Bedore was arrested inside the residence.
He will be incarcerated at the Drumheller Penitentiary until June 24th.
Warrants for Serg Landry and Noelle Pedersen were also executed. Landry was released, on scene, for court in Innisfail.
A Judicial Interim Release hearing was held for Pedersen who had seven outstanding warrants for a total of 12 outstanding charges, dating back to 2016.
The Justice of the Peace released Pedersen for court in Stettler on June 25th.
Stettler RCMP would like to thank the public on Hwy. 601 for their understanding and co-operation as the highway was closed for a period of time and they were redirected onto the gravel roads as the RCMP completed this investigation.
