Two male youths are facing multiple charges in relation to a break and enter robbery in Canora last week.
On Thursday, May 24, five suspects forced their way into a Canora residence. They wore masks and carried baseball bats. Two adult females were in the house at the time and one was struck in the leg with a bat when she tried to call the police. Her minor injuries were treated by EMS at the scene.
The suspects stole a small amount of medication and fled the scene before Canora RCMP responded to the emergency.
The Canora and Kamsack Detachments worked with the Yorkton Forensic Identification Section, Police Dog Services, and the Yorkton General Investigation Section during their investigation into the incident.
On May 25, RCMP executed a search warrant on a Canora residence, where they retrieved evidence related to the crime.
Two male youths were subsequently arrested. They were charged with breaking and enter and commit an indictable offence, disguised with intent to commit an offence, and robbery with an offensive weapon. They appeared in Yorkton Provincial Court on May 28. Their names cannot be released under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
