On Monday, the Kawartha Lakes Police Service Criminal Investigation Branch arrested and charged a 26-year-old woman from the community of Janetville in connection with the case.

Katrina Agelakoudis, 26, has been charged with armed robbery, uttering threats, possession of a weapon dangerous to the public peace, and wearing a disguise while committing an indictable offence.

She is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday for a bail hearing.
