Shelter-In-Place Lifted Near Peerless Trout First Nation as Manhunt Continues

Officers believe the suspects left the immediate area following an overnight search.

Overview

  • Police say a daytime robbery near Red Earth Creek resulted in multiple firearms being stolen, believed to be three.
  • An Alberta Emergency Alert reported three men shooting at people near Peerless Trout First Nation and described them as very dangerous.
  • Multiple sightings led RCMP to the suspects’ truck north of the First Nation on Highway 686, where the trio fled into the woods after refueling from a jerry can.
  • The shelter-in-place for the community was issued Saturday night and lifted Sunday morning after an extensive search.
  • RCMP continue to search, consider the suspects armed and dangerous, ask the public not to approach, to call 911 with tips, and to avoid posting photos of responding officers.
