On Aug. 24th at approximately 3 p.m., Blackfalds RCMP received a call advising two male subjects driving a green jeep had pulled up beside a parked vehicle on Range RD 283 and 11A.
The green jeep was occupied by two adult males, who confronted the four youth in the parked vehicle, pulling a gun on them demanding their vehicle.
The youth fled, with the green jeep chasing behind them.
The green jeep was later located in Sylvan Lake, where the two subjects took a white Lexus SUV at gun point from a lone female driver.
RCMP Blackfalds, Sylvan Lake, Red Deer PDS and Blackfalds ITU were actively engaged searching for the two suspects.
The white Lexus was reported to be in the town of Blackfalds, where RCMP in a high risk take down, brought two adult males into custody.
