Cases for woman in P.A. group accused of robbery going to preliminary inquiry

Apr 30, 2019 | 2:50 PM

A woman accused of committing a string of robberies with a group of four will face two preliminary inquiries, to determine if there’s sufficient evidence in her cases to proceed with a trial.

Twenty-two-year-old Rikki Steinkey appeared in provincial court twice this month where both of her cases based in Melfort and Prince Albert were adjourned to September and June for two separate preliminary inquiries.

The charges stem from incidents on March 4 when a group of four allegedly robbed a Prince Albert gas station with a firearm, then travelled to Jansen and Spalding where the group is alleged to have attempted further robberies. All were arrested South of Invermay.

Steinkey’s Prince Albert charges include armed robbery and party to offence of robbery. Her Melfort charges include assault with a weapon with intent to steal, use of a firearm in an attempted robbery, and being at large of her recognizance.
