INNISFAIL -- A local teen is facing theft and possession of stolen property charges following a bust in connection to a stolen vehicle.
At about 1:30 a.m. on March 5, local RCMP were conducting patrols around town and observed several people standing around a suspicious vehicle on 52nd Avenue, said Innisfail RCMP Cpl. Meghan Bell.
When police arrived, the individuals fled using a nearby vehicle. The suspicious vehicle was determined to be stolen, said Bell.
