Three Saskatoon youth have been arrested in connection to two seperate robberies from yesterday, one of which came alongside a bear spray attack.

On Wednesday just after 6:00 p.m., officers responded to an off-sale business in the 1300 block of 8th Street East. They were told that bear spray had been deployed at a staff member, and three suspects fled the scene prior to police arrival.

Shortly after, police were called to a robbery at a gas station in the 900 block of 8th Street East. There, officers took three youth into custody, one of which possessed a can of bear spray.

Now, three boys, ages 17, 14, and 14 are facing charges.
