Charges were laid after a youth was seen carrying what appeared to be a rifle in Lethbridge on Friday morning.

Police received a call just before 9:30 a.m. from a citizen who reported seeing two “suspicious persons” walking on Stafford Drive North near the train tracks, and one of them was carrying a rifle.

Officers treated the call with the belief the weapon was “real and fully functional” and went to investigate.

The two youths were then spotted entering a business on 2A Avenue North. One of the youths told police he’d had the gun and showed officers where he had left it.

The weapon was determined to be a Daisy lever action BB gun, which was seized. 

The youth was previously released on a court order with conditions not to possess any weapons, firearms or ammunition. He was charged with failing to comply with the order. He cannot be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
