If this weekend is any indication, a bicycle may not be the best getaway vehicle. Police managed to arrest three people in two separate bike-related robberies in Saskatoon.

On Sunday night, at around 8:40 p.m. CST., police were called to a gas station on the 200 block of Avenue B N. The masked man pulled out a knife and fled with cash, heading northbound on a bike.

A nearby patrol car spotted the bike-bound suspect riding nearby and arrested the 31-year-old man.

He's been charged with robbery, carrying a concealed weapon and probation breaches.

Stolen truck

Then, just after midnight Monday morning, police spotted a stolen truck speeding the wrong way down a one-way section of Avenue C N.

After tracking the truck across the city with the police plane, the vehicle eventually stopped near Avenue B and 27th Street. The two people inside jumped onto bikes taken from the back of the truck and rode off.

One of the suspects was caught by a K9 unit with help from the air support unit. A patrol car caught the other man.

Two 30-year-old men are facing numerous charges.

The truck was found to be stolen, as was the Alberta licence plate that was on it.
