UPDATE: Police catch robbery suspects

**Updated as of 12:20 p.m., January 26, 2023**

A recent robbery from a local store that was under investigation by police has resulted in the arrest of two suspects.

On January 23 at 9:25 p.m., Huron County OPP officers responded to a call at a Wal-Mart on Huron Road in Goderich. The store manager reported that a robbery had occurred. Two suspects, a male and a female, allegedly stole numerous items and loaded them into an SUV at the front of the store and sped off. The male suspect allegedly brandished a knife and threatened employees, saying he had a gun, but no gun was ever actually seen. The SUV the suspects left in was last seen travelling through the parking lot and speeding east down Huron Road.

After hearing of the robbery, two observant citizens identified the suspects and their vehicle, and contacted police. Officers were able to arrest both suspects, and the suspect vehicle, a Chevy Tracker, has been seized as part of the investigation.
