Vegreville, Alta - On June 18, 2019, at approximately 1:45 p.m., a male walked into the property of G&R Sand and Gravel, looked through several vehicle windows before stealing a 2002 Ford Windstar which belonged to an employee. The same male had been seen hitchhiking on Highway 16 East of Vegreville earlier that morning, though he entered the property from the West. He is described as being Caucasian with dark thinning hair, medium build, wearing a light blue t-shirt and light coloured plaid / check patterned shorts.

Approximately one hour later, the stolen minivan was located on fire on highway 16 in Lamont County, and a male fitting the description of the thief was seen fleeing the area.
