Three Hills RCMP charged a 14 year old male from Delburne Alberta with Armed Robbery, Wearing a Disguise While Committing an Indictable Offence, and Possession of a Weapon Dangerous to the Public. The day prior, April 8th, 2014, a 13 year old female was also charged with a single count of Armed Robbery.
The charges stem from an Armed Robbery call that RCMP responded to on April 7th, 2014 where it was reported that a lone masked person entered the Delburne Fas Gas service station, brandished a knife, and fled with an undisclosed amount of cash and other items. Several RCMP members and a police service dog from Red Deer responded to the call. A lengthy investigation ensued and resulted in the 2 arrests. No persons were injured during the robbery, no other suspects are being sought, and RCMP have recovered a portion of the stolen property. Both Youth have been released from custody. The female youth is scheduled to appear in Drumheller Provincial Court on June 4th, 2014 and the male youth on April 25th, 2014 to answer to the charges.
