The Sidney/North Saanich RCMP have issued a wanted notice for Mark Nathan Mulschlegel in connection with an armed robbery at a Save-On-Foods store in Sidney, British Columbia.

According to police, the suspect is wanted for robbery with a firearm and possession of stolen property under $5,000. Officers are warning the public that the man is considered dangerous and was armed during the alleged offence.

The suspect is described as standing approximately five feet 10 inches tall and weighing 176 pounds. Investigators are urging residents not to approach him if he is seen and to instead contact the police immediately.

Mulschlegel was previously arrested in September 2025 following a similar incident at the same grocery store where he allegedly brandished a firearm before fleeing. He was apprehended at that time aboard a stolen sailboat in Tsehum Harbour and subsequently charged with robbery and possession of stolen property.

Anyone with information regarding his current whereabouts is asked to contact the police or remain anonymous by reaching out to Crime Stoppers.
