Two male suspects are currently in police custody in connection with a report of robbery.

Sometime after 8:30 pm on Tuesday, March 25, the police responded to a report at the Foodland Mini-Mart on DeSouza Road, where two armed masked assailants reportedly robbed the cashier of an undisclosed amount of money and a mobile phone.

One assailant was wearing a dark blue long-sleeved hoodie, cream long pants, and a black ski mask, while the other was dressed in a black long-sleeved shirt, black long pants, and a white t-shirt covering his face.

Both suspects were described as slim. One is approximately 5 feet 5 inches tall and the other about 5 feet 10 inches tall. They both fled the scene on foot in a northern direction.

    15-year sentence each, so no one else will steal.

      It’s a good thing none of you are lawyers or judges!. You are suggesting a life sentence for stealing? What madness and a waste of taxpayers money. Don’t you believe in the rehabilitation of prisoners? If your son or family member got into trouble like that would you be asking for a life sentence for their crimes? Have some mercy in your heart for people, and trust the prison system to rehabilitate prisoners and hopefully they won’t reoffend.
