Police arrested two suspects Tuesday linked to the investigation of a convenience store robbery that occurred Sunday.
Thunder Bay Police Service officers with the Uniform Patrol Branch were originally dispatched to the Barb’s Laundromat at 300 North May Street just before 8 p.m. on Sunday, May 23 following reports of a robbery that had just occurred.
When police arrived, they learned two males had entered the business. One male forced his way into an area where the businesses’ cash register was located while a second suspect attempted to distract a store clerk.
When the store employee became aware of the robbery attempt, both suspects became involved in a confrontation with the clerk. Both suspects fled the store with an undisclosed amount of cash.
Members of the Thunder Bay Police Service’s Break and Enter and Robbery (BEAR) Unit became involved in the ongoing investigation. As a result of that investigation, police identified the two suspects.
Both males were located and arrested on Tuesday, May 25.
