A Regina woman has been arrested and charged in connection with two recent Regina business robberies.

The first robbery occurred on May 22 at around 5:30 p.m. when police were sent to a business in the 2300 block of 9th Avenue N after a staff member had reported that a woman came into the store and handed over a note that indicated she had a weapon. The note demanded cash and merchandise.

The woman fled before police arrived and was not located in the area.
