Prince Albert Police said they have arrested a woman who allegedly stole a second vehicle eight hours after her arrest for possession of a stolen vehicle.
Police got a call for a woman passed out in a suspicious vehicle early in the morning of June 9, and when they arrived at the 600 block of 22nd St. E. they woke up a female suspect who was apparently impaired by drugs. The 33-year-old Regina woman was arrested on outstanding warrants and taken into cells while the vehicle was towed. The suspect was released from cells with a notice to appear in court.
Later that day, police investigators identified the impounded vehicle as stolen from Pilot Butte, with a licence plate stolen from Regina. The vehicle also contained stolen property from multiple cities.
The suspected thief, just hours after her release from police cells, entered a local gym and used a false name to obtain a pass. She then broke into a locker and swiped some car keys, police said, and made off with a patron’s vehicle.
