Teens charged after robbery at business on Confederation Drive
Police said two teen boys – ages 16 and 14 – were arrested early on Sunday morning after a robbery at a business on Confederation Drive.

“Arriving officers observed two broken glass doors at the entrance of the business. Officers were able to view video surveillance and obtain descriptions of the suspects,” Saskatoon police said in a statement.
“Shortly after, two males who matched the suspect descriptions were located at separate locations a short distance away. Both were arrested without further incident.”
