One man alleged responsible for trio of robberies in Prince Albert

The suspect allegedly confronted staff with a knife and demanded money before fleeing with an undisclosed amount of money and merchandise. There were no physical injuries as a result.

Members of the Forensic Identification Section attended the scene along with a member of the Canine Unit. A K9 track was conducted but was unsuccessful.

While at the first call, officers were dispatched to another business across the street for a report of a robbery. Officers learned a male with the same description brandished a knife and demanded money, however, eventually fled the scene without any money or merchandise.

There were no physical injuries as a result of this incident and it is believed this incident occurred prior to the first call for service.

Then at 8:55 p.m. the same day, officers responded to a business in the 800 block of Fifth St. E. for a robbery in progress. Initial information stated staff was threatened with a knife but fled the scene in a dark coloured vehicle after being confronted by staff.

The suspect matched the description of the person involved in the first two robberies.

Through continued investigation, officers located the vehicle on Monday, travelling westbound on River Street East. Officers were able to arrest the male driver shortly after.

paNOW will provide further details when they are available.
