  • Youth target others with airsoft guns

Police in Abbotsford say officers responded to two separate calls involving youth pointing B-B or airsoft guns at people Friday night.

The department shared a photo on social media showing two realistic-looking weapons and two bags of pellets.

It says police made arrests in both cases and plan to recommend charges.

Sergeant Paul Walker with Abbotsford Police says the first incident involved people who knew each other, while the second involved young teenagers firing B-B guns at other youth they didn't know.
