The Alberta RCMP team investigating Saturday night’s U-Haul attacks is hoping that people who were on Jasper Avenue last weekend captured some of the rampage.

The K Division Integrated National Security Enforcement Team (INSET) took over the investigation from the Edmonton Police Service (EPS) earlier this week.

Now, investigators are asking those who were along Jasper Avenue the night of Sept. 30 and early morning of Oct. 1, to check and see if they have any photos or video of the alleged attempted murders.
