Two Regina teens are facing charges in connection to the bear spray incident over the weekend at the Queen City Ex.

Just before 6:00 PM on Saturday, officers and Evraz Place security staff learned of the bear spray incident in the eastern section of the midway. Several victims had reported symptoms consistent of a bear spray exposure.

Security was able to detain two teenaged boys who had a canister of bear spray and a BB gun described as a “very realistic Glock-styled” gun.

Both youths can’t be named due to their age, but a 15-year-old faces three charges:

• Possession of a weapon for a purpose dangerous to public peace (BB gun),
• Breach of undertaking,
• Mischief under $5,000.

meanwhile a 13-year-old faces four charges:

• Unauthorized possession of a prohibited weapon (bear spray),
• Mischief under $5,000,
• Carrying a concealed weapon,
• Possession of a prohibited weapon.

Both appeared in court Monday morning.
