Around $50,000 in damages were done to the post office on Nov. 24, 2020, according to RCMP. The damage was believed to have been caused by a semi truck being driven into the building.

Both men were originally arrested on the evening of Nov. 24.

Smyth is currently in custody and expected to appear in a Red Deer court on Jan. 27, according to RCMP.

RCMP do not know where Lamontagne is and there is currently a warrant out for his arrest.
