A man and two youths have been charged after items were stolen from a gas station store in Penhold this week.

Innisfail RCMP responded to a panic alarm call at the Centex in Penhold on Monday.

Police say two males had come into the store and demanded cash before fleeing with undisclosed items in a dark-coloured Honda Civic car.

“Some very alert citizens provided excellent detailed descriptions of the males and the suspect vehicle to police,” Mounties say in a release. “RCMP responded quickly and with the assistance of Innisfail RCMP traffic services, Red Deer RCMP and Didsbury RCMP the suspect vehicle was located, stopped and three occupants were arrested without incident.”

As it turned out, the vehicle the suspects had fled in was stolen.
