Two men accused in a liquor store robbery in Rocky Mountain House have scheduled bail hearings.

On May 7, RCMP responded after two masked males entered the store and bear sprayed an employee.

The males took several bottles of liquor and left in a silver Jeep Liberty travelling northbound toward Highway 11.

Police say the employee suffered non-life threatening injuries and was treated by emergency medical services.

RCMP made patrols and located the vehicle travelling on O’Chiese First Nations Main Road. The SUV failed to pull over for the RCMP and a brief pursuit ensued until the vehicle drove into the ditch on a gravel lease road.
