Parkland RCMP received a report on June 1 of an armed robbery at an acreage in Parkland County.
Police contacted the victim who informed the police that a white Jeep Grand Cherokee had been stolen and subsequently recovered.
A preliminary investigation revealed that a white, older model GMC Jimmy or Chevrolet Blazer pulled onto the victim’s property and the occupants began asking for directions to the highway.
