The discovery of what Alberta RCMP believe was a “chop shop” in Athabasca County being used to prepare stolen vehicles for resale was surprising because of “the sheer scale of this investigation,” a police official told reporters on Thursday.
Staff Sgt. Mark Hall showed reporters some of the stolen goods in north-central Alberta, including two semi-trucks, six semi-trailers, off-road vehicles, holiday trailers and pieces of heavy equipment.
Jasmine King reports.

There is no tolerance for stealers
Don't tell me …every one of the criminals are carrying federal Liberal party voting cards?
Nice to see the RCMP doing their job for once .
I am just wondering why the criminals are called repeat offenders? Could it be that the justice system is just too nice to criminals?
😂😂😂 bail ???
Charge kevin O leary with treason too..if the government won't…
So the RCMP stole the money
Oh yes the RCMP can’t do there job without help. Such a weak force as proven in their inabilities in pressing any charges against the biggest thief in Canadian History. Trudeau has single handedly bilked millions of dollars from the Canadian Tax Payers and the RCMP do not have the ability to present a criminal case against this communist thieving Crime Minister.
RCMP love being in the media! No conviction yet so don’t get excited !
Quite an investigation they are facing…it’s more than a couple of guys, and some of them don’t live in Athabasca I’m guessing lol

Protect yourself, your property and your loved one's
Decent People ring door bells and knock on doors, shady people trespass and snoop.
They catch these guys..But won't charge Trudeau…Hmmnn
Why is no one asking why this sort of thing as well as many other issues including rampant drugs happening in these small rural communities with it’s own RCMP detachments. Why do we have RCMP with priorities of traffic and by law enforcement over crime. Rural areas throughout the country are on their own while big city crime moves into small towns and communities because they know we have no policing enforcement. It’s a joke.
Wow the RCMP actually solved a crime!
Wow, a canadian police force finding some bad guys.
This is awesome. They needed a tracker to find a chop shop. Oh that's so wonderful
I wouldn’t doubt they were blaming First Nations for all this stolen stuff but it was your own ppl stealing from you but hey keep pointing fingers at natives. . .
Where's this
randy?
Eye opening to see in our community😂 leave the detachment and ya might find some crime. My neighbor is a Mountie and he spends 10 of the 11 hour shift in his living room😂
So that's one. There's thousands more. Why aren't there more busts?
I am sure they have known about it for years and only just decided to raid it.
I guess more people should put GPS on there items sad I know
Rcmp needs to be incharge of stock markets and banks
Liberal judges will just let them go
Better idea is to go retrieve your stuff at 4:00 am and also do whatever you like to make yourself feel better about the unfortunate situation. Then leave an anonymous tip about the site after.
👍
Why interview the cop, show us the guy who actually busted it.
lol idiots got lucky
One person charged that’s it
The RCMP made a move, seriously… Dude probably didnt make his donation to the Trudeau Foundation.
How did the police have no idea of this. What a joke
The judge will let the thieves go. Stay tuned.
I swear, almost every time there is a suspicious vehicle or theft in the BC interior, its reported that the suspects had Alberta plates. Its always the same stuff too. Big trucks, heavy equipment, snowmobiles, dirt bikes, trailers, ATVs. Its like Alberta makes these dirtball rednecks that go broke on the oil rigs from drugs and alcohol and so they go to BC after their binge ends and raid the province.
I'm sure some people will recognize their items that were stolen in this clip and call in to identify
Umm you didn’t say your pronouns or do a treaty acknowledgment so I’m afraid this will be thrown out of court.
Authorities in the GOC and their loyalists profit from these activities so there will be no changes in prosecutions coming soon.
Seize the property as a proceeds of the crime ..
Millions of dollars worth of equipment…. Charge the suspect with theft over 5,000…. Can we not come up with a charge of theft over 500,000..
.
So, the RCMP's chop shop doesn't like any 'competition'.
