Alberta RCMP arrest woman accused of refusing to return stolen horse
The RCMP in Alberta have arrested a woman accused of stealing a horse but say investigators still don't know where the animal is.
Mounties say the 28-year-old from Ponoka County, south of Edmonton, turned herself in after she was charged with theft of cattle over $5,000.
Police allege the woman refused to return Hank the horse to his rightful owner and told officers she was in the process of selling him.
They say even after turning herself in the woman won't tell police where the horse is.
