Police looking for suspect in Saskatoon gas station robbery

Saskatoon police are investigating after a man with a gun allegedly robbed a local gas station.

Officers responded to the business in the 1100 block of Idylwyld Drive North around 3:30 a.m. Saturday.

A worker told police a man entered the store, grabbed some items to buy and went to the cashier. When he was asked for payment, the suspect showed a firearm.

Police said the man fled the scene with food and cigarettes before officers arrived.

The man was last seen wearing a black “Metal Mulisha” ball cap, a leather coat with a stripe down the arm and black Nike shoes with a white swoosh on the side.

No one was injured.
