The suspects were described as three to four males wearing black bandanas or black balaclavas, and police say they may have been in a white 2020 Dodge Ram pickup truck.
A few hours later, Mounties said the suspects were no longer believed to be in the truck, and were travelling on foot in the Thunder Rapids area on Highway 123.
Police advised the public to stay away from the area and told anyone there to take shelter, lock doors and windows, and not pick up hitchhikers.
Several hours later, Mounties said two suspects were arrested around Tobin Lake.
They said two other suspects may still be on the loose but the situation no longer warrants an emergency alert.
Police say nearby residents may notice an increased police presence and that Highway 123 north of Tobin Lake is still blocked.
