Bear spray bandits sought by police
Prince Albert Police say bear spray was used to assault two separate people in the city’s midtown neighbourhood over the weekend.
The first incident happened Saturday night in the 100 block of Eighth St. E and the victim was described as a food delivery driver. Police say the victim was assaulted and robbed.
The next night, a resident in the 300 block of Eighth St. E. was bear sprayed during an altercation with three people. The circumstances were not described by police but speaking with paNOW on the condition his name won’t be published, the 54-year-old victim explained how he and his girlfriend were home watching television, when she noticed a group of men walking by houses, checking vehicle doors.
“She went out the door and yelled at them. I followed her out then followed the three down the street to the alley. I was walking not chasing just following,” he said.
