A 15-year-old male has been handed numerous charges following an incident that occurred on Wednesday in east Regina.
The charges come after the youth attempted to stop a vehicle on the Victoria Street service road with a stolen truck in an effort to rob a driver at gun point. Regina Police were dispatched at 1:15 a.m. to Graham Road and East Jenkins Drive after the failed attempts following a call from the victim.
At 1:15 in the afternoon on that same day, police located the young man, and he attempted to flee police on foot. Members of the RPS Canine Unit eventually arrested the suspect male, and upon a search, found a firearm on him.
The male youth cannot be named due to the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
