Grande Prairie RCMP are searching for an armed and dangerous man believed to be involved in a number of robberies that took place late Monday night.

Police said Tuesday that they had located a black Honda Civic that was stolen at gunpoint, along with two pick-up trucks believed to be involved in the robberies.

Officers are searching for a suspect who is described as:

  • Caucasian
  • Clean-shaven
  • Approximately 183 cm (6’0”)
  • Possibly wearing sunglasses

As a precaution, students at all public and Catholic schools in the area were kept inside Tuesday morning, but that order was later lifted.

By Tuesday night, police said they were working at a rural property to “continue to attempt to bring this investigation to a safe conclusion.”
