RCMP in southern B.C. are on the lookout for two suspects in armed gas station robberies in Alberta.
Mounties in the Kootenays are hunting for two brothers and two women are believed to have used a sawed off shotgun in two Alberta robberies.
In both incidents, ATV’s were used in the getaway.
RCMP Corporal Dan Moskuluk says two women were caught trying to cross the border in to the U-S, but the men escaped.
“The two females associated with the brothers are in custody this morning in Creston and the brothers may have tried to cross the border into the United States illegally,” says Moskaluk.
Police think Michael and Jason Butz may be dressed in camouflage and armed with that same gun somewhere near the border.
They’re asking people in the Creston area to be cautious and report any suspicious thefts including vehicles or ATV’s.
