Hours after Red Deer RCMP were called to a robbery Tuesday morning, which lead to a suspected armed standoff with a number of suspects – several people were in custody.

At about 2 a.m. Tuesday, police were called to the scene of an alleged robbery outside of an apartment building in the Parke Avenue area of Red Deer.

Police said following some investigation, they found the suspects allegedly involved in that robbery had fled for a home in Halman Crescent.

Officers tried to contact the people inside the home, but they refused to come out – so RCMP officers roped off the area and called in the South Emergency Response Team from Calgary to help deal with the situation.

Several hours later, at about 10 a.m., the incident ended with a number of people removed from the home, some of those are believed to be suspects in the robbery.

No injuries were reported in the incident.
