The Alberta provincial court judge has set strict bail conditions on Vogelsang. He will be allowed to return to Winnipeg to get his affairs in order then he must turn himself in for a psychiatric assessment. The outcome of the assessment will determine if Vogelsang can be held criminally responsible for the robberies in Alberta.
Vogelsang will still have to answer for his alleged involvement in the Saskatchewan robberies.
He is scheduled to appear in an Alberta court on January 23, 2018.
