Regina police arrested a pair of suspects earlier this month after a break and enter resulted in two people being treated for head injuries.

The city’s police service said officers were called to the 3500 block of Dewdney Avenue at approximately 4:15 a.m. on April 2, for a reported break and enter.

When they arrived, officers found two victims who had suffered head injuries. Both were treated at the scene by paramedics and transported to hospital.

A short time later, officers found a man in a vehicle near 1st Avenue North and Edward Street who matched a suspect description from the earlier call. Police say the suspect possessed a gun at the time of his arrest at around 5:10 a.m.

A subsequent search resulted in the seizure of a sawed-off shotgun and ammunition.
