There have been four reports of robberies involving suspects confronting drivers at various locations in Prince Albert over the past week.
The incidents include:
- Just before 7 a.m. on October 16, a driver was confronted by two men who attempted to steal his vehicle outside a business in the 2700 Block of 2nd Avenue West. The suspects threatened the man with an airsoft rifle, before fleeing without the vehicle. One suspect was described as wearing a grey bunnyhug and white gloves. The suspects may have been dropped off in a black, newer model Chevrolet or GMC SUV that also fled the area.
- At approximately 7:30 a.m. on Sunday, October 16, a man was confronted by another man in the drive-thru at a business in the 800 Block of 15th Street East. The suspect is described as tall and thin with long, dark hair. The suspect exited from a dark SUV, possibly a GMC Acadia or Chevrolet Traverse, that was also in the drive-thru lane before confronting the victim. The stolen vehicle was recovered outside the city a short time later the same day.
- In the early morning hours of October 19, a woman was confronted by a man and woman in the 500 Block of 28th Street West. The suspects threatened the woman with bear spray and a machete before fleeing in her vehicle, a black 2019 Hyundai Kona with Saskatchewan license 165 LYT.
- Around 4 p.m. on October 21, two men with a firearm confronted three people as they arrived at a multi-unit residential building in the 1200 Block of 28th Street East. The suspects fled with keys to a 2018 black Honda Civic and three cell phones. One suspect is described as wearing a plaid jacket while the second suspect was wearing a jean jacket.
