On March 27 the Columbia Valley RCMP received a call regarding possible forged prescriptions sent to a local pharmacy. The pharmacy suspected these prescriptions were suspicious, and in fact, they were.
Police arrested the suspect for possession of a scheduled substance and uttering forged documents. The investigation is still ongoing but it’s believed the suspect(s) are linked to other fraudulent offences in Alberta.
A shout out to the pharmacy and its employees for discovering the fraudulent documents and reporting these fraudsters to the police.
On March 27 police received a 911 (dropped) call where all that was heard was a voice saying “don’t touch me.” Members made attempts to call back the number but none of the calls were answered. Subscriber information was obtained and the phone was pinged multiple times in order to locate the person(s). Eventually the RCMP in Cochrane, Alberta were able to locate the person. They were travelling and did not realize they had called 911.
