Mayerthorpe RCMP issued an emergency alert Tuesday morning about two men with guns on the run after an armed robbery.

Police said the two men stole a vehicle in the Edmonton area and fled. The vehicle was later found abandoned.

The two men were believed to be near Lac St. Anne County or in Mayerthorpe, Alta., in the area of Highway 18 and Township Road 572A, between Range Road 92 and 80.

After an extensive search with emergency response teams and other detachments, RCMP do not believe the two men to pose an imminent risk to the public as they no longer appear to be in the area.

One of the men is described as:

  • white;
  • 5'11", 205 lbs;
  • dark hair and brown eyes;
  • about 30 years old; and
  • wearing a cowboy hat and a black sweater.

The second man is described as:

  • white;
  • 6'0", 220 lbs;
  • brown hair and blue eyes; and
  • wearing a black flat-brimmed hat with red letters.

Police urge residents in the area to not open their doors to strangers and to avoid picking up hitchhikers for their own safety.

The men are considered dangerous and should not be approached by anyone.

Mounties are asking the public to report any sightings of the individuals to 911.
