A 42-year-old woman is facing a number of charges after police in Fort Saskatchewan say they caught her with two catalytic converters, a saw and bolt cutters on Tuesday afternoon.

Mounties say they received a call at 4:15 p.m. that the woman was under a pickup truck when she "cut something off the bottom of the vehicle and rode away on a bicycle."

Officers were able to get a photo of the suspect and arrested her a short distance away from the scene, a Friday news release said.

The woman, who police did not name, has been charged with:

  • Theft from a motor vehicle
  • Possession of break-in tools
  • Mischief under $5,000
  • Failing to comply with release order

She is scheduled to appear in Fort Saskatchewan Provincial Court on Aug. 18.
