A wild night of armed robberies and a drive-by shooting in Regina

A wild night of armed robberies and a drive-by shooting early Sunday morning ended with four people charged.

It started with a report of people with a gun on the 2200 block of Dewdney Avenue, who took off in vehicle and fled from police several times early Sunday morning.

Police saw the group of four again on 7th Avenue and Edgar Street and then again parked on the 4100 block of 5th Avenue but both times the car got away.

Later in the morning at around 2:59 a.m. police heard four or five people in a vehicle were shooting at another car with two women and then forcing it to spin out of control on the 3500 block of 25th Avenue and hit a parked truck.

The suspects then allegedly assaulted one of the women before robbing them at gunpoint. The woman had non-life threatening injuries.

About 20 minutes later at 3:21 a.m. police say the suspects robbed a taxi driver and three passengers by gunpoint near 14th Avenue and Albert Street before they rammed into the taxi.

Moments later police found the suspects after the vehicle had a flat tire driving on Elphinstone Street and Dewdney Avenue. Police tried to stop them but they fled. They lost control of their vehicle on 7th Avenue and Montague Street and hit a parked car.

All four suspects were arrested and charged.

Wade Lecaine, 18, was charged with two counts of robbery, three counts of fleeing a police officer, three counts of failing to stop at an accident and assault with a weapon.

Robert Acrossthe Mountain, 18, was charged with two counts of robbery.

Kendell Ameech, 20, was charged with two counts of robbery and breach of his firearm prohibition order.

Dallas Oakes, 20, was charged with two counts of robbery.

The four suspects will appear in court on Monday morning. The investigation is ongoing and anyone who has information is asked to contact the Regina Police Service at 306-777-6500 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
