Recall that piece we did on the men who were seen by police walking away from a dark coloured Mazda Protégé with a stolen licence plate in a parking lot near Appleby Line and Dundas Street in Burlington last on Thursday.

It was determined that the same vehicle and licence plate was involved in several armed robberies where a firearm was used and as a result, a perimeter was quickly established.

The two men were later found inside a nearby Starbucks.

Cst Mitchell with police dog Juno being trained. Another police dog, Storm, was used in the drug raid in east end Burlington.

Police dog was used in the apprehension of the first two suspects.

That two led to four males who were arrested. Charges being laid against all four individuals in relation to recent armed robberies in both Halton and Peel region.

    In my opinion if these louts are old enough to attemp to hold up a business with a firearm then they are old enough to be named and shamed. Let’s face it, sixteen and seventeen are not children in this day and age. They are old enough to know right from wrong and old enough to take the consequenses. What if they had actually shot someone, maybe a person with a young family? Sorry, but if you commit an adult crime you pay the same price as an adult.
