Red Deer RCMP are searching for 25-year-old Kyle Zachery Hosli Rombough, who has been charged with multiple weapons offences, fleeing police and possession of stolen property.

Police say Hosli Rombough was scheduled to appear in Red Deer court on Nov. 29 but did not appear. 

He is charged with the following:

  • Criminal Code 95 – Possession of restricted weapon X 2
  • Criminal Code 94(1) – Possession of firearm in motor vehicle X 2
  • Criminal Code 117.01(1) – Weapons possession contrary to order X 2
  • Criminal Code 249.1(1) – Operate motor vehicle while being pursued by police
  • Criminal Code 355(a) – Possession of stolen property over $5,000

Hosli Rombough was charged after RCMP police seized three shotguns and hundreds of dollars worth of counterfeit Canadian currency in a stolen vehicle on Oct. 19 that had fled police on several occasions and had been involved in a number of criminal files.

Shortly before 6:30 pm on Oct.19, RCMP located a stolen white Honda Civic at an apartment in the Johnstone Crossing neighbourhood.

RCMP arrested the driver in the vehicle after he attempted briefly to evade police and collided with a parked, unoccupied vehicle.

The driver then surrendered to police.

Meanwhile, more police officers pursued a man and a woman into the apartment building after they were seen fleeing the suspect vehicle on foot. RCMP did not locate the two passengers but seized a shotgun that had been abandoned in the stairwell.

RCMP seized two more shotguns from the recovered Civic, one which was loaded, and numerous rounds of ammunition.

Police also seized 37 counterfeit Canadian $100 bills and 12 counterfeit Canadian $20 bills from the stolen car.

The counterfeit currency looks like Canadian polymer bills but is printed on paper and each bill has Chinese characters printed on it.

Similar bills have been seized by numerous police departments across Canada in recent months but this is the first seizure of counterfeits with the Chinese characters in Red Deer.

In this seizure, the 20s have pink characters and the 100s have white characters.

The Honda Civic had been reported stolen out of Red Deer on September 24.

After its theft, the car was involved in numerous criminal offences in Central Alberta: four gas and dash incidents in which the driver was a woman; two separate incidents in which police located the stolen vehicle but it fled at high speeds and police didn’t pursue for public safety reasons; a shoplifting incident in which a man and woman fled a store with approximately $500 worth of items and drove away in the suspect car; and a public report of dangerous driving in which the car was occupied by two men.

Police continue to investigate. If you have information about any of these incidents, call Red Deer RCMP at 403-343-5575. If you wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or report it online at www.tipsubmit.com.
