Three persons have been charged as the result of investigation into three unrelated robberies that occurred in Regina over the weekend. The events are as follows:
1) On Saturday, September 1, 2012, at about 4:30 a.m., police were dispatched to the 1900 block of Prince of Wales Drive for a report of a robbery and assault. Two 20 year-old males and a 17 year-old male reported that they had been involved in an altercation with three unknown male suspects. While the victims sought shelter in their vehicle, a green Pontiac Sunfire, two of the suspects smashed the windows of the car with a baseball bat. The victims sustained injuries consistent with a physical altercation but none required treatment in hospital. A cell phone and a hat were taken from the victims. The suspect vehicle left the scene, north-bound on Prince of Wales Drive. There was a plate number obtained which led police to a house in the 800 block of Grace Street, where one of the suspects was arrested. The other two suspects have been identified and warrants have been requested for their arrests on charges of Robbery, Assault and Mischief.
