6th armed robbery in 6 days targets east side Saskatoon drug store

Saskatoon has now seen its 6th armed robbery in as many days.

The latest came just after 3 p.m. Saturday afternoon at NorDon Drugs & Medical Ltd on Isabella St. E.

Police said the two suspects were armed with a gun and a knife. They demanded cash and merchandise from the staff before fleeing the scene on foot.

The police dog unit could not track down the men.

Witnesses reported seeing a dark blue SUV driving erratically in the area at around the same time, but it’s not clear if the vehicle is linked to the robbery.

There have been roughly a dozen armed robberies in Saskatoon since the beginning of October. In most cases, robbers targeted convenience stores and drug stores.

Members of the public are encouraged to call in tips to 306-975-8300, or through Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
