Three men in custody after lengthy RCMP pursuit
Three men face several charges after a lengthy incident which started with a firearms disturbance at a residence, followed by a pursuit, a robbery then another pursuit.
On August 20, police say several males brandished firearms and threatened occupants at a residence on the Sunchild First Nation, then left in a vehicle.
Rocky Mountain House RCMP responded and located the suspected vehicle as it fled north of the reserve. While pursuing the vehicle, RCMP say it rammed into the police vehicle, then fled the scene with the occupants trying to steal another vehicle in the process.
A short while later the suspects rolled their vehicle into the ditch but were not injured. A woman in another vehicle stopped to help the suspects who was then assaulted by them before having her vehicle stolen.
