Officers found two men at the scene — one was arrested and later released without charges, while the other ran from police.
Investigators determined the suspect tried to steal a cellphone and smashed a car’s windows. No injuries were reported.
A police dog tracked the man to a nearby home, where he was arrested. A firearm magazine was seized during the arrest, and the machete was recovered.
Now, the 18-year-old from North Battleford faces five charges, including robbery, mischief under $5,000, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, and unlicensed possession of a prohibited weapon.
He appeared in North Battleford Provincial Court on Oct. 27.
