Windsor police have arrested two teens and a young man after a series of robberies.
Officers responded to a robbery at a business in the 4300 block of Walker Road, in between Division Road and Provincial Road, at 4:30 p.m. on Friday.
Police say three male suspects entered the store and took approximately $1,000 worth of merchandise without paying. The suspects also allegedly damaged property inside the store.
When confronted by a loss prevention officer, police say one suspect sprayed a noxious substance while another brandished a baton. The suspects fled the scene in a black sedan.
Less than an hour later, at 5:15 p.m., officers were called to another robbery, this time at a business in the 3100 block of Dougall Avenue. The suspects allegedly stole more than $500 worth of items and threatened a store employee with a baton before fleeing in a black sedan similar to the previous robbery.
Soon after, at 5:24 p.m., officers responded to a third robbery in the 2400 block of Dougall Avenue. Police say the suspects entered a business and stole items valued at over $130.
Upon arrival, officers located the black sedan in a nearby parking lot. The suspects fled on foot and were arrested following a brief chase. One officer sustained a broken ankle during the pursuit.
No one else was injured as a result of the incidents.
A 21-year-old Scarborough man has been charged with:
- - Robbery (x 2)
