Fake 911 call to High Level RCMP leads to four arrests

Mar 20, 2024 | 2:16 PM

High Level RCMP have arrested multiple suspects after receiving a “fraudulent 911 call” about a shooting in the town.

Mounties were out conducting proactive patrols on March 9, in hopes of locating a suspect wanted on multiple warrants, and “attended a residence known to police.”

While at the home, officers noticed a suspect out on conditions, who was court-ordered to stay away from the residence, inside.

A few minutes later, High Level RCMP received a call about a shooting in the town, which was determined to be false, and came from the inside of the suspected residence.

A search warrant was then obtained and the home was searched. Police seized several illegal items:

  • 363 grams of psilocybin
  • 183 grams of suspected cocaine
  • 60.85 grams of suspected methamphetamine;
  • 3.05 grams of a “porous chunk of suspected drugs”
  • 76 tablets of “suspected drugs”
  • Ammunition
  • Drug trafficking paraphernalia; baggies, scales and cell phones
