Police said they have since located the Jeep they suspect was involved in the incident, and have brought in RCMP Forensic Identification Services to help with their investigation.

“At this time, police do not believe this is linked with any other ongoing investigations that have been recently reported, and it was not a random incident,” the RCMP said.
