Three teens arrested for armed robbery
Red Deer RCMP arrested three male youths early this morning for an armed robbery in north Red Deer.
It was at about 2 a.m. when RCMP responded to a report of an armed robbery in progress at a convenience store in the 7100 Block of Gaetz Avenue.
Three males wearing face coverings and wielding a firearm demanded cigarettes and cash from the convenience store staff person, then fled on foot toward Piper Drive and Page Avenue.
Mounties contained the area and located two of the suspects as they ran into a wooded area near Pines School. Police officers surrounded the area and the two surrendered to police without incident.
