Crime in and around Fort MacMurray is not bad when certain areas are avoided but it does happen. The Wood Buffalo RCMP recently arrested 3 men and charged them with aggravated assault on Wednesday, August 20. The charges stem from an incident in Conklin that occurred approximately one week before the arrests were made. On August 13 a complaint was called in around 2 am in the morning of an aggravated assault which had occurred at the Conklin residence. When police arrived at the residence to investigate the aggravated assault they found two males who were victims. One of the males had been stabbed while the other had a gunshot wound. Both victims were taken to hospitals for treatment, and both reported to RCMP that a physical altercation had taken place at the residence.

After the initial investigation law enforcement determined that an aggravated assault had occurred, and while this was not a crime in Fort MacMurray it hits close to home in the local community. On Wednesday, August 20, police arrested 3 suspects who were believed to be involved in the aggravated assault. 21 year old Kurtis Richards, a Conklin resident, was charged with aggravated assault, assault with a weapon, and discharging a firearm with intent. 19 year old Trevor Powder, a resident of La Biche, was charged with aggravated assault and assault with a weapon. 48 year old Raymond Richards Sr, a Conklin resident, was also charged for the incident and was arrested for possession of a prohibited weapon and assault with a weapon for pepper spray which was used.
