MAYERTHORPE, Alta. – RCMP say they have not been able to find two armed robbery suspects last seen west of Edmonton.

They say it’s believed the men are no longer in the Mayerthorpe area and that there is not an imminent risk to the community.

An emergency alert was issued earlier in the day after Mounties responded to a report of a stolen vehicle.
