A 28-year-old Lloydminster Alberta man, with connections to the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador, is facing a charge of possession of stolen property following a traffic stop conducted by Deer Lake RCMP on May 31, 2020.
At approximately 2:15 a.m., police stopped a pickup truck towing an enclosed trailer in Deer Lake. The officer conducted licence plate checks on the truck and trailer and discovered that the licence plate attached to the trailer did not match the trailer.

The man was arrested for possession of stolen property, released from custody and is set to attend court in September of 2020.
