Red Deer RCMP have sworn charges against a woman after she was arrested during an armed robbery at a convenience store shortly after 9 am on July 6, and do not believe a child was involved in the incident at this time. RCMP continue to investigate the identity of the second female suspect, who fled the scene in a stolen truck and abandoned it nearby.
An initial report from a witness to the robbery indicated that they may have heard a child in the truck, though no child was seen; since then, RCMP have interviewed a second witness who saw the stolen truck as it was being abandoned shortly after the robbery. That witness confirmed that one female suspect walked away from the truck and that no child was present at that time.

RCMP continue to search for the second female suspect, who is described as a short woman with black hair, thick-set build, approximately 40 – 50 years old, possibly Aboriginal, wearing a grey shirt and a black pair of shorts.
