CALGARY – RCMP have searched an auto-repair shop owned by a United Conservative Party candidate in Calgary.
Mounties seized a computer hard drive, other electronic devices and a suitcase Thursday night from the Autopro location.
The shop owned by Peter Singh, the UPC candidate for Calgary-East, was closed Friday.
RCMP have not released the nature of the investigation.
Singh has since issued a statement on his Facebook page:
Singh was investigated and cleared of fraud and bribery by an internal party investigation after complaints were raised by his opponents after the UCP nomination process for the riding in November of last year.
The office of Alberta’s election commissioner would not comment on whether it is investigating Singh.
