Blackfalds RCMP are searching for two males they say stole a car on Wednesday evening at gunpoint.

Police were dispatched at 9:30 p.m. to a complaint of an armed robbery which had just occurred on Range Road 272A, south of town.

Four young males were sitting in two separate cars when a green Dodge Ram truck stopped on the road. Two males from the truck are said to have shown what appeared to be shotguns, before taking the keys to the occupied Mitsubishi Lancer. One fled in the Lancer, and the other in the original truck.

Before leaving, they slashed the tires of the second vehicle, leaving it immobile.

The two suspects are believed to be in their early twenties.
