Three teenagers face many charges after an attempted robbery near the Carlton Park area of Prince Albert.

According to Prince Albert Police, four people were seen demanding items from two other people late Wednesday night in a parking lot in the 2800 Block of Sixth Avenue East.

Officers eventually intervened and moved to apprehend one of the suspects, when the other three fled the scene.

One suspect was arrested after a pursuit by foot with the others found thanks to help from the Canine Unit. Later, officers found a firearm used in the attempted robbery as well as a knife.

Two 18-year-olds have since been charged with robbery with a firearm while a 17-year-old faces that same charge as well as carrying a concealed weapon and possession of a dangerous weapon.
