Toronto, Police have arrested two men in connection with a violent armed robbery at a convenience store in the city’s east end.
According to police, the suspects entered the store in the Kennedy Road and Eglinton Avenue area on Dec. 17 wearing disguises.
Police say the suspects, one of them armed with a handgun and the other armed with a Taser, then went behind the counter and demanded cash from an employee.
Both suspects then allegedly assaulted the employee before fleeing with a quantity of cash and lottery tickets.
Shamar Collins, 19, and another man, who was 17 at the time of the offence, were arrested last Thursday and charged with robbery with a firearm, disguise with intent, weapons dangerous and possession of property obtained by crime.
The then-17-year-old cannot be identified under the terms of the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
