Two people are being charged for allegedly taking part in an armed robbery in Thickwood.
On March 31, Wood Buffalo RCMP were called to a business near the intersection of Signal Road and Thickwood Drive after multiple individuals entered and demanded money.
A weapon was reportedly used with two employees receiving minor injuries that didn’t require any medical attention.
The individuals ended up leaving in a vehicle with an undisclosed amount of money.
Shortly after, the Mounties were able to locate two individuals with help from police dog services.
They ended up arresting 39-year-old Jaclyn Louise Johnsen, from Leduc, and 27-year-old Edmonton resident Alfred Richard Kamara.
They were each charged with two counts of robbery with a weapon, two counts of possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, possession of property obtained by crime, possession of a controlled substance, and two counts of forcible confinement.
Kamara was also charged with three counts of failing to comply with a release order.
He remains in police custody and will make his next court appearance on April 7, while Johnsen has been released and will appear in a courtroom on April 14.
Also, the Mounties are looking for a third suspect involved in the robbery.
He’s described as a mid-30’s black man, around 5’11”, and stocky build. He was last seen wearing a red and black jacket.
Anyone with information is asked to contact RCMP at 780-788-4040 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).
