At approximately 1:50pm, Emergency services were called to the Willowbrook Mall in the 19700 block of Fraser Hwy in Langley, BC after reports were received of bear spray being deployed inside the mall.

The female youth suspect fled the scene after spraying the victims. The parties involved are known to each other and police believe this to be a targeted incident.

The victims were treated by BC Ambulance Service and are recovering from the effects of the bear spray.
