The Stettler RCMP are on the lookout for a woman who robbed the No Frills gas bar on Sunday evening, April 6 around 9 p.m.

The woman, described as a white female about 5-foot-2 to 5-foot-3, was wearing a black hoodie when she entered the gas bar brandishing a knife.

She made off with two cartons of cigarettes and no money, and no one was hurt.

Police also made three arrests as part of a drug investigation in Stettler last week and this past weekend.

On Thursday, April 3, police arrested a 17-yearold boy and an 18-year-old man on charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking. The two accused were allegedly in possession of about $700 worth of marijuana and ecstasy, const. Bill Lewadniuk said.

On Saturday, a 16-yearold boy was arrested as part of the same investigation, according to Lewadniuk, and charged with the same offence – possession for the purpose of trafficking – though this time the drug was cocaine.

All three men are from the Stettler area. The investigation continues.
