A 66-year-old man in Saskatoon is shaken after he was pushed and robbed of his cigarettes on Sunday afternoon, according to city police. Two women, aged 22 and 23, have been charged with robbery with violence in connection with the incident, which Saskatoon police say took place at about 12:46 p.m. CST. Police say the man, who had a cane, was confronted on the 200 block of 33rd Street West, was pushed down and had his cigarettes taken from him.
The man was not injured but he was "emotionally shaken" by the incident, police said in a release. Witnesses told officers they saw two women running westbound in the south alley of 33rd Street West. The pair was arrested a short time later on the same street. A police dog then found the stolen cigarettes in a lane nearby.
Police did not release the names of the two women accused of robbing the man. They are in custody and are expected to appear before a justice of the peace on Tuesday. In the release, police thanked the witnesses "for their involvement in the reporting and apprehension of the persons responsible for this brazen daytime robbery."
