Teenagers Charged With Armed Robbery

Two teenagers from Thunder Bay are facing robbery and weapons offenses after people were threatened in Chapples Park.

Police say they were called just after 9pm, Monday, to reports two people were approached by the two at knifepoint.

They found a 14 and 15 year old demanded money, and made threats if the victims refused. The victims fled, and were chased by one of the teens.

Police add another victim claimed a similar threat by the two teenagers in the same area.

The accused were arrested near the park’s soccer fields, and found to have a knife and coyote spray.

The two appeared in bail court and have future court dates.
