There, police found two men inside. Both were taken into custody. Mounties said they confiscated two firearms used in the invasion.

Afterward, patrols around the area revealed a third man whom officers suspected was involved and took him into custody.

Mounties said they believe the break-in was targeted. Two men from Edmonton and one from Vegreville now face charges of breaking and entering, forcible confinement, robbery and other criminal charges.

Each man was remanded into custody. They are set to appear in court on Wednesday.
