RCMP located a vehicle matching the description witnesses provided, and arrested the one female and two male occupants.
“Quick action by our officers, and cooperation from witnesses and the public, allows us to seek out and arrest those in our community that are causing harm, as was the case in this incident,” said RCMP Staff Sgt Cam Percy.
