Five people are in custody weeks after Prince Albert police released photos and details of a masked robbery and assault in a convenience store.

The Mac’s store in the 2800 block of Sixth Avenue East, and one of its employees were identified as the victims by its assistant manager.

When police responded to the Feb. 8 incident they found the employee at the business had been assaulted and then robbed.

The people arrested in connection with the incident come from a variety of northern Saskatchewan areas, including Sturgeon Lake, Thunder Bay, and Little Red River Cree Nation.
