Two men are facing multiple charges, including possession of explosives, following an incident at a Regina business on Monday. Officers with the Regina Police Service (RPS) were dispatched to a business on the 2100 block of Broad Street around 7:50 a.m. on Sept. 19. Police learned that a man had attempted to steal items from the business and was told to leave. The man then allegedly showed a knife and left the business, meeting a second man in a nearby alley. Police arrived and detained the two suspects, one of whom was wanted on several warrants. Officers searched the two men and found a small hatchet, knives, two improvised incendiary devices and ammunition. A 22-year-old Regina man and a 26-year-old man from Lestock, Sask. face over seven charges in total, including unlawful possession of explosives, carrying a concealed weapon, and possession of break-in instruments. The 26-year-old accused made his first appearance in provincial court on Sept. 20. The 22-year-old accused was released on an undertaking to appear in provincial court on Nov. 7, 2022.
