Four youths are facing charges in relation to an assault late Monday night.
On October 28, 2024 at approximately 11:20 p.m. police were called to the 200 block of 23rd Street East for a report of an assault in progress. Initial information stated a group of youths were assaulting two other females.
Shortly after the call came in, the Air Support Unit (ASU) began monitoring from the sky and observed a group of 4-5 people assaulting a person before fleeing the scene. Ground officers attended the scene and located a female suffering from injuries consistent with an assault.
ASU was able to direct ground officers to the location of the suspects and they were arrested without further incident.
As a result, three females aged 13, 14, and 15 and one 12-year-old male are all facing charges relating to assault. An 11-year-old was also arrested but cannot be charged under the Criminal Code of Canada.
