Bus crashes into St. Albert house
Safety during hunting season
With the advent of fall, many Albertans are hunting throughout the rural areas. It is critical that safety be paramount at all times.
On September 23rd, a resident Southwest of Stony Plain located a small-caliber shell lodged in the front entrance to her home. This occurred in a heavily wooded area frequented by hunters.
Alberta hunting regulations state that no one must discharge a weapon within 183 meters (200 yards) of an occupied building. Further, no one may discharge a firearm along or across a regularly maintained road or highway, unless the road is specifically designated, or they are hunting game birds with a shotgun and valid licence.
The onus is on all hunters to be aware of the laws surrounding the acquisition, possession, transportation and use of weapons and ammunition.
General Rules of Firearm Safety:
Call the Report A Poacher hotline at 1-800-642-3800. 24 hours a day. 7 days a week.

St. Albert RCMP
At approximately 6:00 p.m., on Tuesday, September 30, 2014, a St. Albert Transit Bus travelling northeast on Heritage Drive near Haviland Crescent in St. Albert, drove off the road, collided with a residential fence and a shed. The bus continued to travel through that home's backyard pushing an empty trampoline in front of it and broke through another fence. The bus then collided with the back deck of a second residence and came to a stop.
The male driver of the transit bus was alone on the bus at the time of the incident. He was taken from the scene by ambulance, but is not believed to have serious injuries.
The owners of the first home, where the bus entered the yard, were not home at the time of the collision. The two adults and two children of the second home where the bus came to a rest were home at the time of the collision. They did not suffer any physical injuries but were understandably shaken up.
Immediate assistance was given to the transit driver by area residents. St. Albert RCMP, the St. Albert Fire Department and EMS attended the scene. As well, the City of St. Albert Transit Services attended the collision and have offered help to all involved. This investigation is in its initial stages and the cause of this collision is not known at this time.

The Calgary Police Service has charged a man in relation to vehicle odometer roll backs that defrauded over 50 victims.
In January 2014, a credit card company alerted the Economic Crimes Unit about a number of locally skimmed cards being used for fraudulent purchases in Calgary. The cards were being used to service vehicles and purchase vehicle parts.
Investigators learned that the vehicles being serviced were being purchased at an auction house. Over the course of three years the suspect had purchased 54 vehicles. The vehicles had high kilometres but they had been rolled back between purchase from the auction house and attempting to sell them online. In one case, approximately 208,000 kilometres were rolled back.
The approximate value of fraud is $300,000, with the number likely to increase as more victims are identified.
