Thanks to an observant community member, Cochrane RCMP arrested a suspicious male who was walking around the inside of a gated compound in the industrial area of town on Sunday evening (April 29).

RCMP responded to the call at roughly 9:15 pm and the suspicious male was eventually arrested for not complying with officer commands to vacate the premise.

With the assistance of the RCMP dog service, thirty-one-year-old Calvin Field Wright of no fixed address was arrested on one count of trespass on a premise as well as one count of mischief. During the investigation, it was also discovered that Wright had outstanding warrants against him out of Olds and Calgary.

Wright is scheduled to appear in Calgary Court tomorrow (May 2) at 9 am.

Cochrane RCMP continues to encourage residents to report suspicious activites and bhaviours.
