“At this time, we’re trying to determine the location,” stated the post.

“Anyone with information on this inhuman act is encouraged to contact the Cochrane RCMP or call 911. We will update you as further information develops.”

Cochrane RCMP are investigating the incident and said Friday one victim was treated for minor injuries and one mountain bike was stolen in the course of events.

The incident happened around 8 p.m. Wednesday after two mountain bikers encountered barbed wire strung across a trail a short distance into their ride in the West Bragg Creek area.
