LETHBRIDGE, AB – The Lethbridge Police Service (LPS) has apprehended two people for allegedly committing an armed robbery.

At approximately 3:40 a.m. on April 12, 2024, officers were called to the 7-Eleven on the 400 block of Mayor Magrath Drive South.

Surveillance footage reportedly showed a man enter the store, place a bag on the counter, and demand cash while pointing a handgun at the employee.

No money was provided and the man took his bag and left.

The cameras allegedly showed a second man in the store, who is said to have been complicit in the robbery.
