one man, one woman

Arrests made after warrants executed in Red Deer and Drayton, one person stabbed

A man from Red Deer, and a woman from Tomahawk, near Drayton Valley, have been arrested and charged by RCMP following a multi-jurisdictional investigation.

RCMP say it was April 19 when members in Drayton Valley responded to a complaint about a home invasion involving a firearm.

The victim had to be transported to hospital, RCMP say.

While RCMP were gathering information about the first complaint, they were dispatched to a secondary complaint about a male who had been stabbed multiple times at a rural property in Brazeau County.

Police ultimately determined the two events were related, and perpetrated by the same suspects.
