Robbery

At 1:45 p.m. Prince Albert Police Service (PAPS) members responded to a robbery call on early Saturday morning. Officers were called to the 2600 block of Second Ave. W. 

The store employee told officers he attempted to stop a female suspect who allegedly stole batteries from the business. He said she then produced a knife, threatened him and asked for money. Police say the suspect then left the store with an undisclosed amount of cash. Officers searched the area with Daxa, the police service dog, but were unable to locate the woman, said to be in her 50s.

PAPS is asking anyone with information in regards to the robbery or the suspect to call the detachment or Crime Stoppers.
