A woman's car was stolen in an alleged robbery that took place while she was delivering newspapers in Saskatoon early Saturday morning.

Police say a 22-year-old man took the vehicle while the woman was dropping off papers on the 300 block of Begg Crescent at about 4 a.m. CST.

The man allegedly fled in the vehicle but it was spotted on 8th Street by the police air support unit.

Patrol officers went to the location of the car and the 22-year-old accused was arrested and charged with robbery, impaired driving, refusing a breath demand and breaching a release document.

He is scheduled to appear before a Justice of the Peace on Saturday.
