Members of the Orillia detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have arrested two suspects in connection to a robbery and a serious assault in the City of Orillia.
On May 10, 2021, shortly after midnight, officers received a call reporting that a man and a woman had robbed someone in a vehicle at a Mississaga Street address. The victim was assaulted but was able to flee the area and call for help.
Officers responded quickly but the suspects had fled. Officers searched the area extensively and, though the suspects were not located at the time, their identities were established. The victim was attended to by County of Simcoe Paramedic Services (CSPS) with serious injuries.
