RCMP says at some point on Sept. 17, one of the two men turned himself into police.
Since turning himself in, 28-year-old Dakota Patterson, from Whitecourt, Alta., is facing nine charges, including kidnapping with a firearm, robbery with a firearm, flight from a peace officer, and failing to comply with probation, to name a few.
Additionally, police have been able to identify the other man as Santiago Patterson, from Grande Prairie, and an arrest warrant has been issued.
He is facing eight charges, including kidnapping with a firearm, robbery with a firearm, and possession of a weapon, to name a few.
RCMP says despite Santiago Patterson still being at large, they don’t believe there is an imminent risk to the public.
