He will remain in custody and is set to appear in Medicine Hat Provincial Court on April 24.

An adult female, 29, will not be identified until a charge of possessing stolen goods is sworn in court. She was released from custody and will appear in court on May 31.

Authorities are reminding the public to secure vehicles and properties by locking doors and removing keys from vehicles to deter criminal activity.
