Three Red Deer men arrested for Cremona armed robbery

Charges are pending against three men from Red Deer in relation to an armed robbery at a motel in Cremona.

On Thursday, RCMP were called after two males wearing masks had entered the motel with a long-barrel firearm and demanded cash from the employee.

Police say the suspects were unsuccessful in obtaining any money and fled in a black Hyundai Elantra with a third male suspect behind the wheel.

A short time later, a report was received that a small black car had slid off the road east of Cremona near Range Road 34. A local resident called police, who attended the location and confirmed that the vehicle was the same used in the robbery.
