The alert told residents to seek immediate shelter or stay inside and lock doors and windows.
“Do not pick up hitch hikers or provide a ride to anyone asking for one,” the alert stated.
RCMP wrote in a social media update at 12:50 p.m. that one man was “safely in custody.”
Ten minutes later, RCMP cancelled the emergency alert and said the second suspect had been safely arrested as well.
