RCMP in Alberta have charged two suspects and are searching for a third after a century-old church was burned down in a community northeast of Edmonton.

Smoky Lake RCMP said officers were responding to reports of vehicle thefts in the community on Sept. 21, when they received reports of a fire in the nearby hamlet of Bellis, located around 140 kilometres northeast of Edmonton.
