The suspects were arrested by Colchester District RCMP at approximately 10:30 p.m. on Feb. 8 and were transported to Halifax police headquarters.

• a robbery reported three minutes later on the same evening at another Needs convenience store on Windsor Street, Halifax when two men wearing masks, with one armed with a firearm, entered the store and demanded money.
