    Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 11 Jul, 2016 12:10 PM
      STETTLER, Alta. — Three people are to appear in a central Alberta court this week after an online ad featuring a stolen tractor led RCMP to the suspected thieves.

      Officers showed up at the site of the proposed sale, searched the area and found the tractor.
       
      Two men and a woman are facing several charges, including theft over $5,000 and possession of stolen property for the purpose of trafficking.
       
      Murray Peters, who is 38 and from Red Deer, 34-year-old Jesse McLeod of Halkirk and 18-year-old Jacqueline Hinse, also of Halkirk, are to appear in Stettler provincial court on Thursday.
