Rocky Mountain House RCMP have laid charges against four men related to a home invasion and robbery that was reported on June 4 in Sunchild First Nation.

RCMP were called to the home shortly before 1 a.m. last Thursday for reports alleging men entered a home, pointed guns at the residents, and stole several items.

There were no injuries reported during the incident, and the men fled in two vehicles before police arrived, according to a Tuesday news release.

RCMP said the suspects were identified by witnesses, and the suspect vehicles were located following a patrol.

However, police said when the officers attempted to stop the suspects, both vehicles drove off.
