Vancouver police say two people have now been arrested and charged for a brazen bear-spray attack on a store owner last September.
Elliot Daryl Cassels, 29, has been charged with robbery and possession of a weapon.
Jolesa Isabelle Ascon-Ramos, 22, is charged with robbery.
Investigators released surveillance video of the duo in the hopes that someone in the public recognized the two suspects.
“This is very much a planned and co-ordinated robbery that inflicted not only physical injuries but some significant emotional trauma on two young staff members that were just trying to do their job and make a living,” said Sgt. Steve Addison, with Vancouver police last October.
Ascon-Ramos could be seen browsing the store and picking up a purse in the video, when a second suspect, Cassels, enters.
He then bear-sprays the employees and runs off with clothing as Ascon-Ramos also leaves with stolen items.
The assault and robbery took place on Sept. 30 at a clothing store on Howe and Helmcken streets just after 4 p.m.
