Police responded to a call at 9:30 a.m. of a woman “screaming in the middle of the road” in the 900 block of 110th Street.

Pooyak, 24, faces numerous gun-related charges, including assault with a weapon and recklessly discharging a weapon.

The charges against the 17-year-old cannot be published because he is a minor.

The RCMP said the robbery was not a random incident and ask anyone with information to contact them or Crime Stoppers.
