SASKATOON – A 23-year-old Prince Albert man accused of using a dating app to lure and rob a Saskatoon man at gunpoint was remanded in custody after his appearance in Saskatoon Provincial Court Thursday. Kobe Edwin Allan Favel is scheduled back in court June 26 to enter an election.
Favel faces charges of armed robbery, uttering threats, carrying a concealed weapon, and possession of MDMA.
Saskatoon police say they found a victim in a parking lot in the 1600 block of 33rd Street West at approximately 3:30 a.m. on Nov. 26, 2022.
