The spree and related investigations spanned the Caroline, Eckville, Alix, Edmonton, Beaumont, and Bashaw areas. The footage begins after air units observed the vehicle driving at speeds of up to 215 km/h while passing on the right and left sides of the lanes, including passing ambulances and police vehicles. As the suspect vehicle approached a gas station, the RCMP's Central Alberta District Crime Reduction Unit (CAD CRU) contacted employees to disable the fuel pumps and lock the doors. As the suspects were unable to refuel, they attempted to carjack a bystander at gunpoint. Covert ground units moved in and disrupted the carjacking, leading to a brief vehicle pursuit before the suspects crashed into a small wooded area and were arrested. Police recovered five stolen firearms and ammunition upon search of the stolen vehicle and an Edmonton residence linked to the suspects. 29-year-old Victor L’Hirondelle was charged with 8 offences for his involvement in the Caroline armed robbery, including: • Armed Robbery (Caroline) • Disguise with intent (Caroline) • Overcoming resistance for the commission of indictable (choking police officer) • Assault PO • Disarming a police officer • Possession of stolen property x 2 (truck and dirt bike) • Resist arrest 31-year-old Dillon Bristow was charged with 77 offences, including but not limited to: • Armed robbery with firearm (Caroline) • Discharge with intent (Caroline) • Disguise with intent to commit indictable (Caroline) • Armed robbery with firearm (Bashaw) • Disguise with intent to commit indictable (Bashaw) • Flight from police (Bashaw) • Pointing a firearm (Bashaw) • Dangerous driving (Bashaw) • Careless use of a firearm (Bashaw) • Numerous firearms-related charges The second suspect in the vehicle pursuit was a 14-year-old female who has not been charged at this time.
