Three young persons and one adult have been charged with Break and Enter after a business break in in northwest Regina in the early-morning hours of Thursday, June 9th.
At approximately 2:00 a.m. on Thursday, June 9, 2022, patrol officers were dispatched to an alarm at a restaurant in the 4400 block of Rochdale Boulevard.
