Three youths have been charged after what police describe as an armed robbery on Sweet Grass First Nation Friday.
The male youth charged are 14, 15 and 16 years old, and are scheduled to appear in North Battleford Provincial Court Tuesday at 9:30 a.m.
Battlefords RCMP were called to the First Nation at about 10 p.m. after three males wearing disguises entered a business armed with bear mace. Police say the perpetrators made off with an undisclosed amount of cash.
The ensuing investigation led to the arrest of a 14-year-old and a 16-year-old Saturday. The 14-year-old is charged with two counts of robbery with a weapon and wearing a disguise with the intent to commit an offence. The 16-year-old has been charged with robbery with a weapon, robbery, wearing a disguise with the intent to commit an offence, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and failing to comply with an undertaking.
A 15-year-old male was arrested early Sunday afternoon and is facing two charges of robbery with a weapon and with wearing a disguise with the intent to commit an offence.
