RCMP 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.

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. castanet.net
