The Regina Police Service (RPS) has arrested and charged a woman following a pair of incidents involving bear spray over the weekend. On June 29, just after 12 p.m., officers were dispatched to the 2900 block of Dewdney Avenue for a reported weapons offence. Police learned that a woman had threatened the victim with a knife and bear sprayed them. A short time later, RPS received a second report, that the same suspect had bear sprayed another victim on the 1900 block of Lorne Street. Officers arrived at that scene and found the suspect – who was arrested without incident. During a search of the woman’s belongings – officers recovered a canister of bear spray and a knife.
