Two men are in police custody after police say they robbed another man in Belleville.
Police said that on Wednesday at just after 4 p.m., witnesses saw an 18-year-old man yelling for help after two men approached him and threatened him with a knife before stealing his bike.
One man fled on the bike, the other on foot, and police recognized both men from surveillance footage.
A search began and around 6:30 p.m. police were told one of the suspects was on Pinnacle Street.
After a brief chase, police arrested a 26-year-old man of no fixed address.
Before long police were called to College Street East where a man had allegedly stolen a donation box from a restaurant.
Surveillance footage from the restaurant confirmed this individual was their second suspect in the robbery and after more searching the second man, a 39-year-old also of no fixed address, was arrested on Church Street shortly after midnight.
Both men were charged with robbery and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and the 39-year-old was additionally charged with theft.
The two men were held for bail hearings on Friday.
