St. Albert RCMP continue to search for a suspect in connection to multiple armed carjackings that forced schools and daycares in the community north of Edmonton to be placed in hold and secure Wednesday morning.
Police said there were two separate carjackings and two attempted carjackings that began at around 8:45 a.m., where the suspects used a firearm or replica firearm to forcibly steal the vehicles.
RCMP said two people were arrested. One of the individuals has been charged with possession of property obtained by crime and possession of break-in instruments. The second individual was released from custody Wednesday without being charged, according to police.
