Two youth are facing a number of charges after an early morning robbery on Friday, Nov. 13.

At approximately 3:30 a.m., Prince Albert Police officers were dispatched to the Mac’s Convenience Store located in the 2800 block of 6th Ave. E. for an armed robbery that had just occurred.

Upon speaking with the store clerk, police learned that two suspects entered the store, one carrying a firearm and the other bear spray, demanding money.

Police said the youth managed to exit the store with an undisclosed amount of cash before releasing the bear spray on the clerk.

Later that morning police received information that led to the identification of both suspects. Officers visited a residence in the 500 block of 5th St. E where a 15-year-old and a 16-year-old were arrested.

The youth are facing charges of armed robbery, committing an offence while masked and numerous breaches of court orders.

The two young offenders will make their next court appearance at Prince Albert Provincial Court on Wednesday, Nov. 18.

The investigation is ongoing.
