Jul 11, 2021 | 10:32 AM

Regina police have arrested and charged a 23-year-old man in connection with explosives left at an east Regina Superstore Friday.

Around 10:50 a.m., police received a call from a person in the 2000 block of Prince of Wales reporting a possible explosive device.

The Regina Police and RCMP explosives disposal units were called and found what police called “items dangerous to the public” in a vehicle in the parking lot and in the store, according to a police media release.

“Due to public safety concerns a portion of Victoria Avenue East was shut down while a team of EDU (explosive disposal units) members worked to make the vehicle safe,” the release said.

A second team was called in to remove “an item” before taking it to a secure location and destroying it.
