Three male youths face numerous charges after police received a weapons complaint last night in Halifax.
On Tuesday, June 21, 2011 at 6:48 pm, officers assigned to the Central Quick Response Unit and Patrol responded to a complaint of a male in possession of bear spray in the area of Bayers Road and Micmac Street.
Three males were arrested without incident a few minutes later. When the officers searched the males they located two canisters of bear spray, a machete and an air rifle. There were also three kits bags containing items that were reported stolen earlier this week from vehicles on Cole Drive and Navara Crescent in Cole Harbour, Candy Mountain Road in Mineville and Cole Road in Meaghers Grant.
An 18-year-old man from Dartmouth and a 17-year-old Halifax male youth are scheduled to appear in court today while a 16-year-old male youth from Sackville is scheduled to appear in court on July 14. All three face charges of carrying a prohibited weapon in a careless manner, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, carrying a concealed weapon, unauthorized possession of a prohibited weapon and six counts of possession of stolen goods. The 17-year-old male youth faces additional charges of mischief and breach of probation.
