The suspects fled on foot, but the police chased and apprehended them.

He said the suspects were discovered to have ”edged weapons concealed… in addition to items taken from the initial robbery.

“Five or ten years ago it’d be unusual, but now it’s not unusual for young girls to be involved in violent crimes,” said Stonechild. “We’re finding that young offender females are starting to be more responsible for violent crime.”

The youth, who are 15, 16, and 17 years old, are scheduled to appear in provincial court today.
