The Sarnia Police Criminal Investigation Branch identified one of the suspects shortly after the incident as 38-year-old Nicholas Cotrelle of London. He was arrested in London on December 21, 2017. The second suspect, 33-year-old Jonathan Joseph of Sarnia, was arrested the next day in Sarnia. Both men are charged with robbery, disguise with intent, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, conspiracy to commit an indictable offence and three counts of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking. Sarnia police say the pair remain in custody awaiting bail hearings.
