The Sidney/North Saanich RCMP are asking for the public’s help in locating 40-year-old Mark Nathan Mulschlegel, who is wanted following an alleged armed robbery at the Save-On-Foods grocery store on Beacon Avenue in Sidney, British Columbia.
Police state that Mulschlegel is wanted for robbery with a firearm and possession of stolen property under $5,000. Officers describe him as being approximately five feet 10 inches tall and weighing 176 pounds. Because he was reportedly armed during the incident, authorities consider him dangerous and are warning residents not to approach him if he is spotted.
This is not the first time the same grocery store has been targeted by this individual. In September 2025, police reported an incident at the same location where a suspect was confronted for allegedly stealing food, brandished a firearm, and fled. That event resulted in a temporary hold and secure at Sidney Elementary and North Saanich Middle School while officers conducted a search. The suspect was apprehended the following day in Tsehum Harbour.
The investigation into the most recent incident is ongoing. Anyone with information regarding Mulschlegel’s current whereabouts is asked to contact the local detachment or provide information anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
