Removing of Election Signs,


Good Morning Everyone,

         I have received this message from one of my Zone Director and you need to read and be aware of what is happening out. This will cost some votes or No votes at all, if you see someone removing this signs Please call the RCMP and get a description as well, as this is illegal. This has to stop, we work together. Thank you


Hi Bonnie
Can you please forward to all members.
Good Evening All

I would just like to put a notice out regarding the Election,  I find it very disgusting that there are candidates out there removing other candidates election signs!  I have noticed driving around the county there are elections signs posted on public and even on private property one day and the next day they are missing, replaced with their own.    I know for a fact the candidates have not removed them, one of the opposition committee or themselves have removed the signs and replaced them with their own.  This shows a great disrespect for their fellow opponents.  I know of a sign removed on private property, so not only was the person creating an illegal act tampering with election signs,  they also are trespassing!  So please make sure you pay attention to whose signs are missing.  Do you really want to vote for the person who is replacing that sign with their own.  Would you want that councillor or mayor representing you on Sturgeon council? We are crime watch members, please watch for these incidents occurring.  These are adults running for these positions, but they are acting worse than children!!!

Thank you
Colleen
Once again keep your eyes open and make sure you put your X beside someone with integrity!!

B&E and Theft of car


Sturgeon Rural Crime Watch
File number 2017-1253068


From: Morinville RCMP



During the morning hours of Friday, September 15th, 2017, a rural residence near Twp Rd 554 and Rge Rd 263 was broken into shortly after the residents had left for the day.

Unknown suspects accessed the property in what is believed to be a truck before entering the garage by breaking through an overhead door window and pulling the manual lift release cable. The home's security system was activated and is believed to have limited the amount of time spent inside. However, during this short time, suspects managed to steal several items inside the garage, and within a short area of reach in the home that included the keys to a grey 2010 Dodge Challenger with Alberta plate NTF 161. The vehicle was subsequently stolen as suspects left the property. 

No suspects have been identified at this time. However, Morinville RCMP would like to speak to anyone with information that might assist with this investigation.

Break in at Telus Cell Tower



 Break in at Cell Tower

At approximately 10:00am on August 31, 2017 a break-in to a Telus Communications cell tower shelter was reported to Police. The tower is accessible by Range Road 245, and located southwest of Sturgeon Rd. and Hwy 28 in Sturgeon County.
Stolen were 7 trays of large batteries with an estimated value of approximately $7000.00. The exact make/model of the batteries are not known at this time, however, they are believed to be similar to batteries stolen from a recent break-in to a Rogers cell tower located SE of Bon Accord earlier in the month of August. As with that incident, it is believed that thieves are targeting these high-value batteries and reselling them for use in solar powered energy or other similar installations, whether for commercial or private use.
Morinville RCMP would like to speak to anyone with information that could lead to the identity of suspect(s) or the location of the stolen batteries. No suspect(s) have been identified at this time.
Police would also like to encourage the reporting of any suspicious persons, activity or vehicles located near similar cell tower installations.

Tour Of Alberta





Hi Bonnie, and Everyone
I am not sure if you are aware but the Tour of Alberta - Stage 2 Road Race will be passing through Sturgeon County on Saturday, September 2.  This portion of the race begins in Spruce Grove where they will make their way north on Hwy 777 and then turn east onto Hwy 642 proceeding through the communities of Sandy Beach and Alexander First Nation.  They will then turn south onto Hwy 44 where they will pass by Riviere Qui Barre and turn west on Hwy 633 passing by Villeneuve making their way back to the city of Spruce Grove.
Can you please fan this out to the residents of Sturgeon County so they are away and can expect delays during the afternoon.  It is estimated they should enter Sturgeon County at approximately 2:29 pm (estimated time of the fast racers) and leave Sturgeon County at approximately 3:57 pm (estimated time of slower racers).
I attached a map of the route they will travel in Sturgeon County, A link at the bottom of the page.
Thanks for your cooperation.
