Regina police are looking for suspects after a can of bear spray was used at a crowded public swimming pool.
Officers arrived at the city’s Wascana Pool mid-afternoon Thursday after a report of a weapons incident.
They found about 200 patrons suffering the effects of bear spray.
Bear spray, used as a bear deterrent, contains ingredients that irritate the eyes, the nose and the throat.
Witnesses told the officers that a group of four to five suspects wearing balaclavas and other face coverings entered the pool and began firing off the can.
The suspects were described as males about 13-16 years-old.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 8, 2023.
