RCMP put out the call Monday in a media release about the case that started more than a month ago. On Aug. 5, officers answered a complaint of the two dead dogs on a path parallel to Highway 15 near 95 Street.

Police said the puppies, believed to be eight-to-12-week-old yellow Labrador retrievers, were dead before they were placed along the pathway across from the Walmart parking lot.

A necropsy performed Aug. 14 found the dogs died at the hands of humans and suffered significant trauma, RCMP said.

Anyone with information about the deaths, including elements such as advertisements of puppies for sale or witnessing anything suspicious, is asked to call the Fort Saskatchewan RCMP detachment at 780-997-7900. "

High speed chase ends with four arrested in Lamont by Jana Semeniuk

A high-speed chase with police on Jan. 14 ended in the arrest of four people in Lamont. Cst. Lauren Mowbray with the Fort Saskatchewan RCMP said charges are pending.
“Everything is just preliminary and still under investigation,” she said. “If after we deem that there are charges going to be laid, once those are sworn then names and more information will be released.”
Mowbray said the drama began in Fort Saskatchewan with RCMP responding to a report of a suspicious vehicle at 8:30 p.m. on Jan. 14. A high-speed chase ensued with at least two additional detachments from Sherwood Park and Vegreville assisting.
While residents reported seeing guns drawn when the chase ended in the town of Lamont on Highway 15 and 50th Street, Mowbray could not confirm.
“I can’t confirm anything at this point,” she said. “If that were the case, there was potentially a high-risk roadside stop conducted.”
No injuries have so far been reported in the incident.
More information to come in this week's Leader.
