A 14-year-old boy and a 15-year-old boy who were on conditional release for alleged robbery-related offences are facing numerous criminal charges after a series of pharmacy robberies in Peel Region, police say.
Peel Regional Police said in a news release Tuesday that between December and January, the suspects committed 14 armed robberies in Peel Region — six in Brampton and eight in Mississauga.
On Jan. 24, the suspects were arrested and charged in Toronto as part of Project Mayhem.
They were later brought to a Brampton court to answer to additional charges, police said.
The two teens are facing 84 criminal charges in total including robbery, wearing a disguise and breaching a court order.
“This is an ongoing investigation, and investigators anticipate they may lay further charges,” the release said.
The accused cannot be named due to a provision in the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
