Willowbrook Mall in Langley was temporarily shut down Wednesday afternoon after two teens were bear-sprayed inside.
RCMP were called to the shopping centre around 2 p.m. It’s believed a third teen sprayed the two victims after a verbal argument near the Foot Locker store.
The victims were treated by paramedics.
“Willowbrook mall did temporarily evacuate as other patrons were feeling the effects of the bear spray but they have now returned to normal business,” said Sgt. Rebecca Parslow with Langley RCMP.
The mall re-opened after about an hour.
