Laval police arrested a man and woman in their 20s in connection with an alleged robbery involving a firearm.
The incident occurred in the early hours of Oct. 3, 2023. The victim was returning home in a vehicle with one of the suspects on board. As the victim parked her car in the driveway, a second suspect approached her, allegedly pointing a firearm at her, before striking her in the face with the weapon. Meanwhile, the other suspect, who was still in the victim’s vehicle, took advantage of the situation to steal her cell phone, personal belongings and money – police say.
The two suspects then fled the scene in a vehicle.
As a result of the investigation, the suspects were located and arrested in Montreal. Searches of their homes led to the seizure of drugs, forged identification cards, a pistol and a high-capacity magazine.
