A 16-year-old Cole Harbour boy faces a slew of charges after two teens were robbed in the area. 

Cole Harbour RCMP say they responded to an armed robbery on Merrimac Drive around 1:50 a.m. on Saturday.

Police say two boys, aged 16 and 17, were walking on the road when another person approached the pair, pepper sprayed them and robbed them of personal items.

With the help of a K9 unit, police arrested the suspect and held him in custody over the weekend.

He will appear in Halifax youth court on Monday.
