Two males have been charged in relation to an armed robbery in Dawson Creek.

Dawson Creek RCMP received a report of an armed robbery at a local business in the Mile Zero City on August 7 at approximately 5:00 a.m.

Soon after arriving to the scene, RCMP sent a description of the vehicle being driven by the suspects in this case to other Peace Region RCMP detachments.

With that description, members of the Western Alberta District Rural Crime Reduction Unit and Grande Prairie ALERT were able to locate and arrested 31-year-old Michael Robert Corris and 56-year-old Joseph William Kelly, both of Fort St. John BC.

The pair were arrested in a stolen vehicle at a gas station on the east side of Grande Prairie, and a number of stolen items were recovered from inside the vehicle.
