Manhunt underway after 20 firearms stolen in armed robbery near Maidstone

Dec 29, 2025 | 5:51 PM

RCMP are asking for the public’s help identifying three suspects after roughly 20 firearms and a crossbow were stolen in an armed robbery at a rural home in the RM of Eldon.

Police say officers responded to the residence shortly after 9 p.m. on Dec. 28 after a report that three masked people arrived in a light-coloured pickup truck, confronted the homeowner and entered the house.

Investigators say one of the suspects produced a firearm before the group stole the weapons and fled. No physical injuries were reported.

RCMP say the suspects left in what is believed to be a Chevrolet or GMC Sierra pickup and were last seen travelling west on Highway 16 toward Lloydminster.
