A man and woman have been arrested and remain in custody on charges of robbery with a gun, wearing a disguise, theft of a gun, and forcible confinement.

On Wednesday, Melfort RCMP asked for public help identifying a man and woman after a robbery at home on Stovel Avenue early Tuesday morning.

After identifying the two suspects, officers tried to pull over a vehicle in Melfort at about 7:30 pm.

The vehicle did not stop, continued a short distance, and then stopped with both occupants getting out and running into a home on Main Street.

They were taken into custody shortly afterward.
