Fort Qu’Appelle RCMP have arrested two people, in connection with an armed robbery in Balcarres on Monday afternoon.
Just after 4 p.m. Monday, Mounties were notified of a robbery at a Balcarres business, in which they say two women allegedly entered the business, assaulted the employee with a golf club, and stole two bottles of liquor, before fleeing the scene, leaving the employee with non-life-threatening injuries.
Officers quickly located the suspect vehicle travelling near Balcarres, and it failed to stop for police, before turning into a field, where Mounties were able to box it in and arrest the suspects, one of whom threatened a police officer while being taken to the detachment.
19-year-old Serenity Fink of Balcarres and 38-year-old Isabelle Starr of Fort Qu’Appelle remain in custody on numerous charges, including Robbery and Flight from Police, and they will make their first court appearance in Fort Qu’Appelle on Thursday.
