Sawed-off shotgun, stolen property, seized during Calgary arrest

Calgary police say charges have been laid against two people in connection with the seizure of a stolen vehicle, property and a sawed-off shotgun last week.

Officials say they were notified on Dec. 13 by OnStar, an in-vehicle security system, about a stolen vehicle that was being tracked remotely as it headed from Okotoks to Calgary.

"OnStar was able to remotely turn on the hazard lights, resulting in two individuals stopping the vehicle in a parking lot, fleeing on foot and discarding a loaded shotgun into a nearby snowbank," police said in a release.

Police were able to locate the suspects and, after a brief foot chase, arrest them.

A subsequent search resulted in the seizure of stolen identification, credit cards, several rounds of ammunition and a sawed-off shotgun.
