Police said the investigation started in Stony Plain before moving to Edmonton.
“This is a great demonstration of intelligence sharing and collaboration between two partner police forces,” Stony Plain RCMP Insp. Mike Lokken said. “Criminals know no borders and by working together, both forces help prevent future crimes.”
Frasier and Gamlin were both remanded into custody and are scheduled to appear in Edmonton Provincial Court on Sept. 19.
