Winnipeg police say an 18-year-old man and a 15-year-old boy have been arrested after a chaotic scene at CF Polo Park mall.
The incident, which took place Sunday morning, involved a break-in to a truck in the mall’s parking lot. A witness called police, and the two suspects left the scene and entered the mall before officers could arrive.
Police said the duo broke into two mall stores, stealing a laptop from one and trying to break open a cash box at the other, before spraying security guards with bear spray and running off.
The two were arrested 15 minutes later by police near a mall entrance.
They’ve each been charged with a whopping 18 offences, mainly related to weapons and breaking and entering, as well as multiple breaches of court orders. The 18-year-old was also the subject of five outstanding arrest warrants.
