Regina police have three people in custody after a robbery at a business led to a fight between staff members and the suspects.

Police were called to a business in the 1700 Block of McIntyre St. on Saturday for a robbery in progress, according to a police news release.

Once officers arrived they were told by staff that two women and one man came into the store and tried to steal various items.

Staff confronted the suspects at the door and recovered some items, but a fight ensued that spilled outside to the front of the store.
