A 15-year-old boy could be lucky to be alive after a break-in to a car dealership early Thursday morning.
According to Regina police, there was an alarm call at a dealership on Eighth Avenue near Winnipeg Street at 5:09 a.m. on Thursday. Someone had broken some glass at the front of the building.
When officers got there and checked the building, they found blood on some of the broken glass.
Officers then checked the area and, about a block away on Wallace Street, they found a 15-year-old boy who was bleeding a lot.
Officers gave the teen first aid and applied a tourniquet, then EMS arrived and took him to the hospital. Police say the cut might have been fatal if the teen hadn’t been found.
Later on Thursday, a 12-year-old boy and a different 15-year-old boy were arrested. Both boys are charged with break and enter with intent to commit an indictable offence, while the 12-year-old is also charged with uttering threats.
None of the youths involved can be named in accordance with the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
The teen who was sent to the hospital is called a suspect by police in a news release, but no charges were listed for him in this incident.
