One person has been arrested and a second is wanted in connection to an ongoing armed robberies investigation.

The suspect was disarmed by the employee and another person.

According to the Windsor Police Service, a second male suspect entered the building with a knife, threatening both victims. The suspects fled the scene in a stolen vehicle without any merchandise, officers said.

Police recovered an airsoft pistol and a bag that is believed to belong to the suspects.
