urge caution after woman attacked and robbed in central Alberta RCMP
in central Alberta are warning women to be on guard for their own safety after a
young woman was kidnapped, robbed and sexually assaulted. Police say a
20-year-old woman was leaving her job shortly after midnight at a hotel on Red
Deer's gasoline alley, when a man came to her driver's side door and brandished
a knife. According to police, the man forced the young woman to get in the
passenger seat and he drove to a bank where he took her to the ATM and forced
her to withdraw money from her account. RCMP say he then took her to a rural
location near Penhold where he sexually assaulted her before driving her back to
Red Deer and dropping her off at a convenience store. Police say he then left
with her vehicle. The woman's SUV was later recovered at a construction site on
the west side of gasoline alley.

Lens & Shutter the victim of an over night burglary in Kelowna, BC; tens of
thousands of dollar of inventory stolen After losing tens of thousands
of dollars of equipment in an overnight break-in is warning other retailers to
stay vigilant. Store Manager Jaime Paniagua says he got a call shortly after 4
a.m. that the alarm at the store was ringing. "I made my way there and the RCMP
were here already," says Paniagua, who notes the culprits were already gone.
"They broke the lock and then made their way through the store. They took some
GoPros, and then they went into two of our cabinets, and behind the counter,
removed the glass...and took professional high-end cameras and lenses." The
stolen goods taken were primarily out of box, new cameras and lenses by Nikon,
as well as boxed GoPro cameras. Besides the loss of product, the store also
suffered damage to the door and glass shelves within.
