Two people are facing several charges in connection with a series of armed convenience store robberies across the GTA, including Halton.
According to Peel Police, the suspects attended several convenience stores between Dec. 30 and Jan. 16 throughout Peel, Toronto and Halton. In each robbery, it's alleged the suspects wore disguises to conceal their identities and had firearms.

Peel, Toronto and Halton Police Services worked together to identify the suspects and make arrests.
