Mounties arrest two carjackers in Blackfalds, continue search for third suspect
Two men are in custody while local Mounties are searching for a third suspect after two carjacking reports on Thursday.
Blackfalds RCMP say it was just before 3:30 p.m. when they were called about two males driving a green Jeep that had pulled up beside a parked vehicle on Highway 11A near Range Road 283, east of Sylvan Lake.
The men in the Jeep confronted four youth in the parked vehicle, pulling a gun on them demanding their vehicle. The youth fled in their vehicle, with the green Jeep chasing behind them.
The Jeep was later located in Sylvan Lake, where police say the two subjects took a white Lexus SUV at gunpoint from a lone female driver. Mounties from Blackfalds, Sylvan Lake and Red Deer then began a search for the suspects.
