The Saskatchewan RCMP is warning business owners after a spate of robberies targeting vape shops in Martensville and Warman.

Police say between October and December 2025, detachments in the two neighbouring cities received nine reports of break-ins at local vape shops, all taking place during the late evening or early morning:

• October 7, 2025 – Martensville – Break and Enter
• October 27, 2025 – Martensville – Break and Enter
• October 30, 2025 – Warman – Break and Enter
• November 17, 2025 – Warman – Break and Enter
• November 17, 2025 – Martensville – Break and Enter
• December 13, 2025 – Warman – Armed Robbery
• December 22, 2025 – Martensville – Break and Enter
• December 22, 2025 – Warman – Break and Enter
• December 30, 2025 – Warman – Break and Enter

Police don’t usually disclose details about the victims of crime or businesses targeted by thieves, but the RCMP says it’s sharing the information so similar businesses can take security precautions.

Investigators say one of the Warman break-ins was an armed robbery, and all involved two or three suspects wearing all black or dark clothing who had their faces covered. The RCMP believes the Dec. 13 Warman break-in involved a white Toyota RAV 4, 2019 or newer.

Police are still trying to figure out if all the incidents are connected.

Anyone with information is asked to call their nearest RCMP detachment or Crime Stoppers.
