Two adult males are facing a number of charges as the result of investigation into an incident that included theft and possession of stolen property, as well as an assault with a weapon.
On Sunday, November 21, 2021, at about 9:37 p.m., police were dispatched to a large retail business in the 2100 block of Prince of Wales Drive for a report of a weapons offence. Information received in the call indicated a male had allegedly threatened employees with a knife as he exited the store with a duffle bag full of merchandise that had not been paid for. Officers got a good description of the vehicle and were able to find the suspect vehicle in a parking lot on Broadway Avenue, where they conducted a traffic stop. The two male occupants of the vehicle were taken into custody without incident. A search of the vehicle yielded two large machetes and several backpacks filled with merchandise believed to be stolen property. Both males were subsequently charged.
