Two people are being charged for allegedly taking part in an armed robbery in Thickwood.
On March 31, Wood Buffalo RCMP were called to a business near the intersection of Signal Road and Thickwood Drive after multiple individuals entered and demanded money.
A weapon was reportedly used with two employees receiving minor injuries that didn’t require any medical attention.
The individuals ended up leaving in a vehicle with an undisclosed amount of money.
Shortly after, the Mounties were able to locate two individuals with help from police dog services.
They ended up arresting 39-year-old Jaclyn Louise Johnsen, from Leduc, and 27-year-old Edmonton resident Alfred Richard Kamara.
