Regina police have arrested a second teenager in connection with a series of recent robberies involving bear spray.
Police said a 14-year-old boy has been charged with robbery with an offensive weapon, robbery causing bodily harm with Intent to steal, mischief and two breaches of court orders.
On Sept 17, three teenagers were approached by a group of youths, who allegedly sprayed them with bear spray and took their bicycles away.
Later the same day, another teen had his bike stolen after allegedly being threatened by bear spray.
Also the same day, a man said some youths tried to take his money and tried to spray him.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested earlier this month and was charged in connection with the same three incidents.
Both teens have made a first appearance in Youth Court on their charges.
Their names can't be released because they're minors.
