RCMP west of Edmonton are searching for suspects after an attempted robbery at a bar in Parkland County on Monday.
Police were called to the Wabamun Hotel Bar shortly after noon. Officers said two men with hammers attempted to rob the bar.
RCMP said one of the suspects swung a hammer at a staff member who attempted to confront the pair. The staff member suffered minor injuries after being grazed by the tool, RCMP said.
