Several charges laid on 4 people in Bonnyville armed robbery

During the robbery, the suspects also stole the victim’s vehicle.  

Soon after, Bonnyville RCMP and Cold Lake RCMP located, arrested, and charged three of the four suspects.  

Prior to their apprehension, one suspect made a false 911 call in an attempt to distract RCMP from locating one of the other suspects.  

The fourth suspect was finally arrested and charged on Thursday, July 10.
