A stud belt was laid out and the vehicle was abandoned in a parking lot in the 200 block of Betts Avenue where the driver had gotten and out took off into a nearby store. The suspect hasn’t been tracked down yet.

Gas and Dash

Saskatoon Police say they believe a man who deployed bear spray inside a gas station in the 16 hundred block of Idylwyld North around 7 a.m. Wednesday morning was also responsible for a gas and dash. Police say the employee wasn’t hurt in the first incident which happened when the suspect was told the gas station didn’t have a particular brand of cigarettes. The suspect sprayed bear spray then jumped into the passenger seat of a waiting black jeep. The same vehicle is suspected in a gas and dash in the 13 hundred block of Central Avenue. Police say the Jeep was reported stolen from Cutknife on Tuesday.
The suspect is described as approximately 20-years-old, 5’9″ in height with a thin build. He was wearing a black and red plaid button up jacket, a white hoodie, dark grey sweat pants and a bright blue toque.

Anyone with information in either incident is asked to contact Saskatoon Police or Crime Stoppers.
