The video was briefly posted to social media but was turned over to police by a citizen on April 26.

Police have since charged an 18-year-old man and a 16-year-old man, both of London, with robbery using violence and disguise with intent.

Both will appear in a London court Thursday, while police are asking anyone with information to contact them or Crime Stoppers.
