With the support of the Southeast District Emergency Response Team and Police Dog Service, Cranbrook RCMP’s Enhanced Response Unit has arrested a male wanted out of Calgary for a multitude of offences.

The arrest occurred at a multi-unit residential building near Victoria Avenue and 7^th Street North shortly after noon today, February 6.

“Cranbrook RCMP express sincere appreciation to the public impacted by the closure of nearby roads and especially the occupants of neighbouring units who were temporarily evacuated.  A nearby school was subject of a brief lock down out of an abundance of caution,” reported S/Sgt. Barry Graham, Cranbrook RCMP Detachment commander.

“Cranbrook RCMP would also like to assure the public that significant planning went into the operation to ensure the safest outcome for the public, police and the arrested male.”

The male will be held for court awaiting an application from Calgary City Police to return him to Alberta.
