RCMP have issued arrest warrants for a man and a woman involved in a carjacking near Blackfalds Wednesday evening.

Blackfalds RCMP say they were called to a scene of a rollover on Aspelund Road west of Hwy 2 near Blackfalds at 8 pm Wednesday.

Police learned two of the occupants of the rolled vehicle, a male and a female, had left the scene and obtained a ride from a passer-by. The two persons were said to have forced the driver from her vehicle and left her at the roadside.

The vehicle was located later in the Highland Green area of Red Deer where extensive patrols were made to locate the male and female suspects, to no avail.

Police have issued warrants for the arrests of two people. Colby McInnes, 22, faces numerous charges including robbery, and dangerous driving causing bodily harm. Samantha Johnstone, 23, faces property related charges. Police have not yet released the home towns of either suspect.

Anyone with information about the whereabouts of either McInnes or Jonhstone is encouraged to call Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or report a tip online at www.tipssubmit.com
