Public’s help sought to find 59 missing cows
The Alberta RCMP Livestock Investigation Unit is asking for the public’s assistance in helping track down 59 mixed-breed heifers police believe were stolen from a rural property near Czar, Alberta in the Provost area. The theft was detected recently after a monthly headcount by the landowner. At today’s cattle prices, the animals are worth approximately $80,000.
A subsequent ground and air search of the area by the owner did not locate the missing livestock. There is no evidence that they escaped through a fence or that they have relocated to adjacent properties.
The cows were housed on an 80 acre parcel of land where they were allowed to graze freely. The cows were also watered and fed by the owner who attended the lot twice daily. Police suspect that the animals were taken by someone who knew the daily routine so evaded detection. Police suspect that the cattle were loaded out of the feedlot in a straight haul trailer capable of holding 60 head of cattle.
Alerts to inspected livestock markets in Alberta, Saskatchewan and British Columbia have been issued but with no result. All the cattle are tagged and bearing HOBBS brand so it would be difficult for someone to market them at any of the inspected markets. This suggests to investigators that the cows have not been slaughtered and have been moved to another location within or beyond Alberta.
If you have any information about this crime, please call your local RCMP detachment or police service of local jurisdiction.
If you wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers. At Crime Stoppers, you do not need to reveal your identity. Crime Stoppers does not subscribe to Call Display, Call Trace or tape any phone calls. If your information leads to an arrest, you qualify for a cash award up to $2,000.00. We want your tip, not your name. Call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Elder Abuse Awareness Day
The Lethbridge Regional Police Service and Lethbridge Elder Abuse Response Network (LEARN) are hosting two community events to recognize World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. The intention of the Elder Abuse Awareness Day is to provide education and awareness about the mistreatment of older adults and the need for community action.
LEARN partners will be hosting a community BBQ and information event on Friday, June 13 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Lethbridge Senior Citizens Organization. Hotdogs, chips and pop will be sold for $3. All proceeds will assist with funding the annual Lethbridge Seniors Safety Calendar.

Purple is the official colour of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (June 15) and LEARN partners are encouraging everyone to wear purple on June 15 in recognition of the day.
Elder abuse is any action or inaction by self or others that jeopardizes the health or well-being of an older adult. It occurs within relationships with the older adult where there is an expectation of trust. There are many forms of abuse including financial, physical, sexual, psychological and medical abuse as well as neglect or violation of rights. Abusers can include family, friends or people who provide support.
Lethbridge is not immune to elder abuse, but there is a strong network of support available. LEARN is increasing awareness to help citizens understand more about elder abuse and the resources available in the community. Community members can learn to recognize the possible signs of abuse and offer support to the older person. They can act by reporting their concerns to the LEARN Coordinator at 403-394-0306.

Inert projectile found at Enoch First Nation
At approximately 5:15 this afternoon, a surveyor conducting work on Enoch First Nation located a suspicious item. He brought a type of military ordinance to Spruce Grove Detachment, keeping it in a cooler in the rear of his truck. A police officer went with him to his truck and viewed the ordinance.
Acting with caution and unsure of what this was, police taped off the parking lot and reached out to the military for assistance. The surrounding area was not deemed to be in jeopardy, and as such, no buildings were evacuated.
The military arrived at 9:00 pm, and examined the ordinance. They advised it was an inert projectile, and seized it.
Police would like to remind the public that any time they find something like this, they should refrain from touching it or disturbing the surrounding area. Police should be called, and from there we will liaise with our military partners.

Man charged with fraud in excess of $6 million
The Calgary Police Service has arrested a man in relation to fraud in excess of $6 million.
In February of 2010, the Calgary Police Service began an investigation after a man claimed he had operated an investment and immigration scheme over the past five years, targeting members of the Asian community.
It is alleged he offered investors the opportunity to support his electronics importing business, IC Computers, asking them to loan him money by way of a promissory note. In return, it was promised that they would reap the benefits of the sale of electronics imported from Hong Kong and sold in the United States.
It is also alleged the accused developed the idea of offering assistance to potential immigrants. Through the administration of a franchise fee, the accused would agree to assist investors with their immigration process.
Over the course of the investigation, the Economic Crimes Unit determined that the electronics business was a Ponzi scheme, with any funds returned to investors coming from other investors rather than electronic sales.
The investigation also determined that over a nine-year time period, the accused offered no assistance to potential immigrants, instead defrauding them each of an alleged amount of $30,000 to $50,000. The loss to known victims is in excess of $700,000.00
In consultation with Alberta Specialized Prosecutions, Calgary Police Service has charged Chi-Ho CHAN, also known as Moses Chan, 38, with two counts of fraud over $5,000.
The Calgary Police Service encourages anyone that has been a victim of this type of fraud to contact police at 403-266-1234 or Crime Stoppers anonymously using any of the following methods:
