Convenience store robber enters guilty pleas, receives two-year jail sentence
A man responsible for two armed robberies in Prince Albert where he threatened the convenience store clerks with bear spray has received a two year jail sentence.
Anthony Halcro, 35, appeared in person Thursday morning at Provincial Court.
According to the statement of facts read in court by Crown Prosecutor Doug Howell, both robberies occurred in the evening hours of Oct. 3, 2021, and were less than two hours apart.
In the first incident, Halcro was accompanied by a female accomplice when he entered a store in the city’s midtown area. As the female ordered customers in the store to get out, Halcro, who had his hair dyed blond and was wearing a mask, went to the clerk and demanded money.
