A woman has been arrested and charged after Battlefords RCMP issued a request for the public’s help in identifying a person from surveillance footage of a theft from a business on Railway Avenue East Dec. 29.
Police say the 41-year-old remains in custody and will make her first appearance in North Battleford Provincial Court on Monday at 9:30 a.m., facing one count of robbery with a weapon. She is also facing several other charges, including fraud and theft in connection with other reported matters.
Dec. 29, police were advised a lone woman left the business carrying numerous items without paying and when confronted by staff brandished a knife.
Police say that during the investigation, evidence was found that linked her to a robbery at a store at the Frontier Mall on the evening of Dec. 19. There a staff member who confronted a woman after she was witnessed stealing clothing was threatened with a knife. The weapon was also swung at another staff member a short time later when she attempted to retrieve the stolen merchandise.
Two additional charges of robbery in connection to this incident are also scheduled to be brought forward on Monday.
