The Medicine Hat Police Service is investigating a robbery that occurred on the evening of February 8, 2026, in Medicine Hat, Alta.
The incident took place at approximately 9:43 p.m. at a convenience store on 12 Street NE. According to a Medicine Hat Police Service media release, three suspects wearing face coverings entered the store while an employee was working alone. One suspect produced a knife while the other two prevented the employee from leaving. The suspects fled with approximately $60 in cash, a large quantity of cigarettes (valued at about $5,000) and lottery scratch tickets (valued at about $5,000). No physical injuries were reported.
On Feb. 9, members of the MHPS Major Crime Unit, with assistance from the Tactical Team, executed a search warrant at a residence in the 0–100 block of Heckbert Court NE. Police recovered a large quantity of stolen cigarettes and lottery tickets, plus clothing and face coverings consistent with those worn during the robbery. Two adult males — Tyrone Roulette, 18, and Spencer Roulette, 22, both of Medicine Hat — were arrested and charged with robbery, unlawful confinement and disguise with intent. They were remanded following a bail hearing. A third suspect, Tyler Roulette, 30, of Medicine Hat, remains outstanding and a warrant has been issued for his arrest.
The MHPS is asking anyone with information about the incident or the whereabouts of the outstanding suspect to contact the Medicine Hat Police Service at 403-529-8481. Media inquiries may be directed to Staff Sergeant Darren Lole, Criminal Investigation Section, Medicine Hat Police Service.
This robbery follows other significant incidents in the area over recent weeks, including a personal robbery under the Allowance Avenue overpass on Dec. 26, 2025, and a targeted robbery and firearms-related incident on Jan. 2, 2026. Investigators are examining whether the Feb. 8 incident is related to those events.
