A Saskatoon man was arrested and faces charges following a robbery Saturday morning.

On September 7, 2024, at approximately 8:10 a.m. police were called to the 1100 block of 22nd Street West for a report of a male robbing a business with a firearm.

The suspect had fled the scene before police arrival; however, officers spoke with staff and obtained video surveillance of the incident. With the assistance of the SPS Canine Unit, a K9 track was conducted and the suspect was located a short distance away from the initial scene.
