GPPS makes arrest after an armed robbery

Nov 9, 2026 | 5:43 PM

Grande Prairie police have made an arrest in connection with an armed robbery earlier this month at a business. 

Thirty-two-year old Mitchell Ryan Chambers has been charged with two counts of possession of stolen property over $5000, three weapons charges, one drug possession count and another for failure to comply with a probation order. 

He has been remanded and is due in court November 16. 

The Grande Prairie Police Service says that on November 3, two masked men armed with what looked like a shotgun and a handgun entered the business, later taking off in a van that was believed to be stolen. 

Police have since recovered the stolen vehicle, a shotgun and a replica handgun. A search was done at a home in Wembley with the help of Beaverlodge RCMP. 

Police are still investigating and are looking for information on the second suspect.
