The Regina Police Service said they arrested three boys (one 15-year-old and two 16-year-olds) after receiving a report of a weapons offence involving a firearm.

Officers were called to the 1100 block of Edgar Street shortly after midnight on Tuesday.

A woman said three boys sprayed a dog with bear spray, and when she tried to confront the kids one of them pointed a gun at her.

The boys were found nearby and found to be in breach of release orders.

One of the boys had alcohol and ammunition, and another boy gave officers a false identity.
