Police said at around 7:45 p.m. on Feb. 3, a witness reported an unknown man allegedly pointed a shotgun at a citizen, robbing them at the Anderson CTrain platform. Officers circulated the area but were unable to locate any suspects.

Another incident was reported at 5:15 a.m. on March 3, when police believe a woman was assaulted at the same train platform by another woman who sprayed the victim with bear spray.

Later that same day, police say a man and a woman were assaulted by the same suspects as the earlier incidents. At around 6 p.m., police believe the suspects attacked victims using nunchucks and bear spray.

Police were able to identify the two suspects after reviewing CCTV footage and speaking with multiple witnesses.

On March 15, police arrested the suspects at a home near Anderson station. Police also found a firearm, ammunition, nunchucks, a bow and a homemade baton, seizing them.

Police believe the suspects and victims knew each other and the LRT station robberies were targeted.
