Officers with the Sarnia Police Service arrested two local teenagers on March 7, 2026, following a report of an altercation in the area of Indian Road and Wellington Street in Sarnia. The suspects, two youths aged 14 and 15, were located and taken into custody on nearby Vimy Crescent shortly after the incident.
During the investigation, police found two canisters of wasp spray that had been wrapped in duct tape to be used as weapons. The two teenagers face several charges, including assault with a weapon, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, and administering a noxious substance.
Both youths were also charged with breaking court rules that were already in place. Before this incident, the teenagers were under legal orders not to have any weapons and to stay away from each other. These previous conditions meant they were not allowed to be in contact with one another at all.
The names of the teenagers are protected and cannot be released under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. Following a bail hearing, both individuals were released from custody with new conditions to follow while their cases move through the court system.
