Over five weeks, three robberies happened across Regina leaving a 21-year-old and a 41-year-old to be arrested by police.
The first was on January 26 at roughly 9:30 p.m. in Albert Park.
According to a news release, employees of the business said a man “took several items off the shelf and proceeded to
leave the store.” The man threatened security with a knife when they tried to stop him. The theft happened in the 2900 block of Gordon Road.

The second was on January 29 when three days after the first another robbery happened at the same business but at a different location.
This time officers were called to the 1000 block of Pasqua Street North.
The employees of the North Central location described the same scenario as the first. Just before 7:30 p.m. a man entered, took several items off the shelf and started to leave. He again threatened employees who tried to confront him.
On February 24, officers were called to the same location as the second robbery, but at 3:20 p.m.
Again the man entered the store, took items and when confronted by employees he threatened them with a baton.
As a result, a 21-year-old man was arrested for robbery and a 41-year-old was charged in relation to the second robbery on January 29.
