Prince Albert RCMP received a report of an armed robbery on Sturgeon Lake First Nation, in the afternoon of June 15, 2025.
Investigation determined that a motorist was driving a SUV on Sturgeon Lake Road and they came across a male laying on the roadway.
The motorist stopped, exited the SUV, and went to check on the wellbeing of the male.
After the motorist exited the vehicle, the male laying on the road got up and a second male exited a nearby bushed area with a firearm and pointed it at the motorist.
