SASKATOON - Two people have been charged with multiple offences following an attempted robbery in Saskatoon.
On Aug. 20 at approximately 9:30 p.m., police received a report of an assault where a man believed he had possibly been shot with something in the 1100 block of Avenue B North.
Arriving officers quickly located the injured man and observed injuries to his face and hand. Paramedics were called to further assess the man’s injuries. Bystanders told police the suspect was armed with a firearm and believed he had fled the scene.
Shortly after, police located two suspects believed to have been involved in the assault. They were arrested without incident. Through investigation, officers learned that a female victim had also been assaulted. The suspects are believed to have approached the victims demanding their property before a confrontation ensued and an imitation firearm was discharged at both victims and their dog.
As a result, an 18-year-old man has been charged with multiple firearms-related charges, committing pain to an animal, and breaching a release order.
A 16-year-old male youth was also charged with assault causing bodily harm, possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000, and failing to comply with court orders.
Both victims and their dog sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
