Members of the Spirit River RCMP arrested two individuals following a home invasion investigation in February.
According to police, a male and female armed with what investigators believe to be handguns, allegedly forced entry into a residence, demanded money, took items, and left the home. The suspects were later identified and arrested in Grande Prairie.
As a result of the investigation, 43-year-old Rycroft resident James William Germo, and 38-year-old Keg River resident Rhonda Brent were charged with numerous counts including alleged robbery with a weapon, being unlawfully in a dwelling house, possession of property obtained by crime, and using an imitation firearm in the commission of an offence. Germo was also charged with alleged disobeying an order of the court.
Germo and Brent were brought before a Justice of the Peace and placed in custody. The two are scheduled to appear at the Alberta Court of Justice in Grande Prairie on May 1st, 2024.
