At around 6:23 p.m. on Sept. 28, Indian Head RCMP were dispatched to a business on the 200 block of Main Street in the village of McLean after an armed robbery was reported.

Police learned that a lone adult man entered the business carrying an edged weapon. The man took money from the cash register and then left the premises – fleeing in a vehicle.

The vehicle was later found on a grid road by officers with the File Hills Police Service, who were assisting the investigation. The driver was taken into custody.

As a result, a 53-year-old man from Regina has been charged with robbery with a weapon, possessing a weapon, and driving while prohibited.
