Oct 31, 2010 | 8:37 AM

One man didn't get far after a pair of bank robberies in Saskatoon Saturday morning.

At about 10:30 am, a bank near the Confederation Mall reported a robbery. The suspect said he had a weapon and made off with some cash.

Then, just 10 minutes later, the man hit another bank, again taking cash with him as he fled.
The 30-year-old was soon caught after a short foot chase with police.

He now faces two robbery charges and two counts of breach of probation.
