Police said the young suspects are accused of going on a crime spree that started at a convenience store Wednesday night where they allegedly threatened people but left empty-handed, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reported Saturday. A short time later, they allegedly robbed a discount store of some cash. Advertisement Then the next night, one suspect forced his way into a locked grocery store and took cash from the till. A store clerk commanded her dog to attack the intruder and the boy sprayed the woman and dog with bear spray. Police picked up the 13-year-old in the vicinity and subsequently took the 10-year-old into custody as well, the CBC said. The teenager is facing armed robbery and other charges, while the 10-year-old is too young to be charged under Canadian law, the news network said.
