Murray Wood: Tent cities in public spaces are not OK
Murray Wood says we are being told we have to accept homeless encampments in city parks. Do we, really?
Three people are facing charges following an armed robbery in Moose Jaw on Thursday.
Police said two masked men walked into a store on the 400 block of High Street West, one with a machete and the other with a gun. They demanded cash and merchandise, before fleeing the scene in what police believe to be a vehicle waiting for them down the street.
Moose Jaw police were able to locate one of the suspects inside a home on the east side of the city.
RCMP tracked down the vehicle in Regina, where officers tried to pull it over, but the driver refused.
Police chased the vehicle for a short time before calling off the pursuit, due to the speed and volume of traffic.
Regina police eventually found the vehicle abandoned in a parking lot and saw the suspects running away.
After a short foot chase, officers were able to catch and arrest the two.
A man from Moose Jaw is charged with robbery with an airsoft pistol, along with several gun-related offenses and disguise with intent.
A man from Caronport is charged with being a party to the offense of robbery with a weapon and possession of a weapon dangerous to the public.
A young person from Regina is charged with robbery with a machete, having a weapon dangerous to the public and disguise with intent.
Police said they continue to investigate and further charges could be laid.
All three of the accused will be in court on Monday.
