Saskatoon police say a 25-year-old man is in custody after he entered a bar on Diefenbaker Drive Friday afternoon and demanded cash.

When employees resisted, police say, the man sprayed pepper spray into the air. He then fled the scene, stealing a patron’s bike on his way out.

He was located at a home in the 300 block of Haviland Crescent on Aug. 23, according to SPS, which is when he was arrested, charged, and brought into custody.

The man is facing charges of robbery, possession of a weapon, and carrying a concealed weapon, along with breach of undertaking.
