Just before 10:30 Friday night, Prince Albert police responded to a report of a robbery with a firearm in the 600 block of 17^th St. W.

Two victims were sitting in their vehicle in a driveway, when two masked suspects, armed with a shotgun, approached. Police said one of the victims was assaulted with the weapon before the suspects stole the dark blue 2016 Chevrolet Cruze and fled.

About an hour and a half later, police were dispatched to the 1000 block of 14^th St. W. A man had been shot by suspects in a passing vehicle. He was taken to the hospital in Prince Albert before being transferred to Saskatoon for treatment of what police called ‘significant injuries.’

Just minutes later, around 12:11 a.m., a report of another robbery with firearm came in – this time on Jack Matheson Crescent. A vehicle matching the earlier stolen Cruze pulled up beside a parked vehicle. Masked suspects approached with a shotgun. When the victim tried to flee, his vehicle was shot at and disabled. The suspects tried, but failed to steal the vehicle before fleeing.
