Lloydminster RCMP say about 40 people involved in organized crime were arrested in April and officers recovered several stolen vehicles, firearms, and drugs.
It’s all part of the ongoing investigation around street level organized crime and gangs operating in the area.
The message from the Lloydminster RCMP Detachment is that officers will continue to target those involved in gang activity in and around the community.
The Detachment highlights seventeen arrests as part of their enforcement where six vehicles were pulled over between April 21st and 24th for various reasons.
In one case RCMP allege seizing a loaded firearm and brass knuckles.
In another, the driver failed to stop but RCMP Air Services tracked the vehicle as it fled out of Lloydminster.
Police say it continued north of Marwayne where it drove through a fence and became stuck in a field.
Three people fled, but were later apprehended with the assistance of the RCMP Police Dog Services.
