REGINA V C.C. [PROVINCIAL COURT OF ALBERTA, CALGARY]

C was charged with multiple property related offences for being in possession of stolen property contrary to section 354 of the Criminal Code. C was found near a stolen truck where a backpack of stolen identification and credit cards were later found. Curtis Mennie filed a Charter notice for section 8 for an unlawful arrest of C. At the time of C’s arrest the arresting Officer did not have sufficient grounds to arrest her in connection to the vehicle being stolen. Upon review by the Crown the charges were stayed on the day of trial.
