The Regina Police Service (RPS) arrested five people after receiving a report of an attempted armed robbery that occurred on the 1400 block of Bond Street on March 28, 2022, at approximately 10:00 p.m.
Police stated a group of masked suspects had arrived at the residence and, armed with a firearm, attempted to rob a man who then fled into the residence and locked the door. The suspects left in a vehicle.
“Police located the vehicle and performed a high risk traffic stop,” police stated in a release. “Five occupants were arrested. One of the suspects was arrested on an unrelated warrant.
“A search revealed a firearm, and a substance believed to be methamphetamine.”
