Regina police have charged four teens after multiple residents reported they were threatened with a gun over the weekend.

Officers were called to the 600 block of Princess Street for a weapons-related incident. Police determined that several suspects were threatening random individuals who were walking in the area.

Four suspects were found matching the descriptions given to police.

Three were taken into custody without incident, while a fourth fled officers and was caught with the assistance of a police service dog.

The teen received minor injuries from the dog bite and was assessed by paramedics.

A search following the arrests led to the seizure of a firearm, a machete, and bear spray.

The four youths, aged 14 to 15, face a range of charges under the Criminal Code, including possession of a weapon, carrying a concealed weapon, pointing a firearm, and resisting arrest. Their identities were not disclosed in keeping with the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

Both 15-year-olds are charged with possession of a weapon and carrying a concealed weapon. One 14-year-old faces possession of a weapon, carrying a concealed weapon, and resisting arrest, while the other 14-year-old faces multiple charges, including pointing a firearm, assault with a weapon, and offences related to unauthorized possession and storage of firearms.

All four youths made their first appearances in Regina Provincial Youth Court on March 30.

The Regina Police Service says it is continuing to investigate.
