In one situation a woman approached a group of kids attempting to steal a vehicle from a garage and one of the suspects swung a machete at her and then attacked her with bear spray.
Regina police say there are too many charges to list but one 16-year-old youth is facing 43 charges.
Officers also say many of these crimes could have been prevented because several of the stolen vehicles were left unlocked with keys inside and garage doors were left open.
