Two break-ins have led to two arrests for RCMP in central Alberta.

Police says the Morrin Hotel Bar was robbed on Feb. 13 by two masked and armed suspects. The vehicle they fled in was found abandoned and set on fire. One suspect was identified and an arrest warrant was issued.

On Feb. 18, a hotel in Halkirk was robbed by a disguised suspect carrying what was believed to be a shotgun. He fled in a van, which was later recovered in Big Valley. A stolen shotgun was found in the van.

RCMP linked the two incidents and identified both suspects with help from members in Drumheller, Three Hills, Hanna, Beiseker, Coronation, Stettler and Red Deer.

The pair were arrested on Feb. 19 in Three Hills.
