“A staff member reported that two males had entered the store with what was believed to be a weapon, stole some items and fled in a green Ford Bronco,” the Saskatoon Police Service explained in a statement.
As officers were investigating the first alleged robbery, they got a report of a second armed robbery at a gas station on 22nd Street West.
“Staff at that business reported that two males entered the store and threatened them with a firearm before stealing items and fleeing in greed Ford Bronco,” police said.
No injuries were reported in either robbery, police noted.
Officers located the Bronco outside an apartment on Avenue V south a short time later, and two suspects came outside following a short negotiation with officers.
The two men – ages 21 and 32 – are each facing charges of armed robbery, while police said the older man is facing additional charges of wearing a disguise and possession of a firearm. He was also wanted on outstanding warrants.
The duo could be facing additional charges, the police force noted, as the green Bronco was found to be stolen.
