SPS said the caller told officers the men entered a business before police arrived and provided a description. Police said they found the men matching the descriptions leaving a business and a search then found a small knife and property believed to belong to the business.

A 34-year-old man has been charged with theft under $5000 and breaching court-imposed conditions, and a 39-year-old man has been charged with theft under $5000, possession of a weapon dangerous to public peace, and two counts of failing to comply with court-imposed conditions.

House shot at in Meadowgreen

An empty house in the Meadowgreen neighbourhood of Saskatoon was shot at on Sunday, SPS said.

In a news release on Monday, SPS said officers went to the house in the 200 block of Winnipeg Avenue South around 11:30 p.m. on Feb. 23 after receiving a call about a possible gunshot, with the caller saying they saw two people running away from the area as well.

Police said they found damage to a front window of the vacant house that appeared to be caused by a bullet, that a second window appeared to be recently broken, and a security camera on the home’s exterior had also been disconnected.

Police added that no description of the suspects was available and their investigation is ongoing.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Saskatoon Police Service at 306-975-8300 or to inform Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or at saskcrimestoppers.com.
