Joseph Debigare and Peter McQuinn were both granted bail following a show cause hearing Thursday in Estevan court.

Debigare will be forced to put up $10,000 for his release while McQuinn was ordered to pay $5,000 in bail.

Creston Hanson, Ronald Himmelspeck, Amanda Knebush, Dustin MacNeil, Spencer Persson and Jessica Smith will all be back in court July 23 when it will be determined if there is enough evidence to proceed to a trial.

The 16-year-old was charged with a number of assaults and break and enters from March to November in Estevan, Torquay and Lampman. The young offender was also ordered to pay restitution and must abide by a number of conditions including a strict curfew. He was also ordered to pay restitution to his victims.
