EDMONTON – A shelter-in-place order issued by RCMP after a firearm theft in northern Alberta has been lifted.
Police say in a news release that shortly after noon on Saturday, unknown suspects committed a robbery near Red Earth Creek and that several guns were taken and suspects shot at a civilian who was in the area.
They fled, but at 6 p.m., several sightings of the suspect vehicle were reported, and Mounties later located the vehicle and three suspects north of Peerless Trout First Nation where police said the suspects appeared to be using a jerry can to put gas in the truck but ran into the woods when officers arrived.
They say it’s believed they took three firearms with them, and police issued the shelter-in-place issue for the area of Peerless Trout First Nation, asking people to stay inside and not answer their doors.
An Alberta Emergency Alert that was issued about the same time as the RCMP release stated that three armed suspects were observed shooting at people near the First Nation.
In a Sunday morning release, RCMP say after an extensive search, they no longer believe the suspects are in the area, but ask residents to stay vigilant for any suspicious activity and to report it if spotted.
RCMP say officers continue their search for the suspects, who they consider to be armed and dangerous. They ask the public not to approach them if spotted and to call 911 instead.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 15, 2025.
