Two arrested after string of robberies

Two suspects have been arrested by Winnipeg police on charges relating to three robberies since Nov. 24.

Corbin Findlay, 18, and Desmond Duguid, 29, were arrested following a robbery on Dec. 20 at a convenience store on Osborne Street.

Police said one of the men was apprehended by a citizen following the robbery until police arrived. The other fled in a vehicle and crashed it into a curb on Gertrude Avenue, and was then taken into police custody.

The two men are also facing charges over the robbery of a convenience store on Archibald Street on Dec. 18, and the robbery of a gas bar on Regent Avenue on Nov. 24.

Duguid is facing three robbery charges, two charges of wearing a disguise with intent, and three charges of breach of probation.

Findlay was charged with two counts each of robbery and wearing a disguise, as well as fleeing from a police officer and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.
