Olds RCMP seek public assistance in identifying suspect in “Jason” mask

The Olds RCMP were dispatched early this morning to a break and enter at the Dodge Dealership in Olds where three different vehicles were stolen.

At 2:46 a.m., the RCMP received a complaint that a suspect vehicle came to the dealership, rammed a barricade and stole two Dodge Ram trucks and a Jeep Grande Cherokee. The suspects left, each driving a different vehicle.

Investigation shows that three male suspects were dropped off by a Ford truck, and the suspects gained access to the dealership. One person remained in the cab of the Ford truck. A cleaner was working in the dealership at the time, but there was no interaction between the cleaner and the suspects.

The RCMP have attached surveillance photos showing a male wearing a “Jason” mask, a black t-shirt with white writing, blue plaid shirt and blue jeans. Descriptions are not available in relation to the other two suspects.

If you recognize this male or have any information about this investigation, please call the Olds RCMP at 403-556-3324 or call your local police detachment.

If you want to remain anonymous, you can contact Crime Stoppers by phone at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS), by internet at www.tipsubmit.com, or by SMS.

Terri Clark

Hailing from Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada, Terri Clark got her start by playing for tips at Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge, a legendary honky-tonk bar across the alley from Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium. The 3-time JUNO Award winner holds the honor of being the only Canadian female member of the legendary Grand Ole Opry. Terri has received 19 CCMA Awards and is the newest member of the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame.

“I had such a wonderful time on the US leg of the CP Holiday Train last year, and I’m so excited for this experience again, across my home country of Canada. Seeing the smiling faces, holiday spirit, and people giving back to their own communities is an amazing thing to be a part of and witness.”

Sierra Noble

Winnipeg singer-songwriter Sierra Noble has been a part of the Canadian music scene since a very young age, beginning her touring career when she was only 14 years old as a solo Old-time fiddle player. Her evolution as an artist brought her to a journey of singing and songwriting debuted by a song called “Possibility” which went on to be featured on television shows such as “One Tree Hill” and “Switched at Birth”. She credits that song to be what opened the door to her opening for international legends Bon Jovi and Paul McCartney.

“I am beyond excited to be a part of the 20th anniversary CP Holiday Train! Come join us with your friends, family, and food bank donations while we warm our hearts together through song in the cold chill of winter!”

Kelly Prescott

Celebrating a long lineage of a very musically inclined family, the third-generation singer grew up in an award-winning studio where she was able to hone her craft of song writing. Penning such fan favourites as ‘Carryin’ Coal’ and ‘Coming Home To You (ft. Buddy Miller)’, her new music expands on her talent and unique vocals to reveal tracks like ‘Who Gets The Church’ and ‘Leavin’ Her’, which was released worldwide June 8th.

“I’ve had the honour of being a part of the CP Holiday Train for many years, yet this never gets old. In fact, it becomes more magical every year. To see firsthand the difference this program makes in each community is nothing short of incredible.”
