A multi-jurisdictional investigation resulted in arrests linked to two Caledon pharmacy robberies.
On Sept. 23, at approximately 5:30 p.m., Caledon Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) was alerted to a robbery at a business at 18 King Street E. in the Town of Caledon.
The investigation revealed that at 5:12 p.m., two men entered the drug store, one of whom was holding a firearm, and demanded to know the location of the narcotics.
A third man waited outside in the driver seat of an older model black sedan. They fled the scene westbound on King Street East at a high rate of speed with a quantity of currency and narcotics.
One week later, on Sept. 30, at 10:43 a.m., Caledon OPP responded to another armed robbery that had just taken place.
