It was approximately 11:49 a.m., on April 14, 2025, when Red Deer RCMP received a report of an individual with a firearm located in a field in the Lancaster neighbourhood.

Officers responded and arrested an 18-year-old male, along with two youths, one male and one female. Police say the trio was taken into custody without incident.

RCMP say a firearm was recovered and confirmed to be a replica firearm.
