Charges have been laid after a pair of armed robberies in Neepawa, and another one in Sprucewoods. 

RCMP says the Neepawa armed robberies both took place on the evening of February 8th, including one at a business on Main Street.

In both instances, two male suspects wearing masks and carrying knives were able to make off with undisclosed amounts of cash. 

Five days later, Mounties received a report of a break-and-enter at a business in Sprucewoods, where two masked suspects were caught on surveillance stealing over two thousand dollars of merchandise.

Search warrants were executed on homes in Neepawa and Brandon, where the stolen items were recovered.

Police eventually arrested two men, one on February 17th in the RM of Cornwallis and the other on February 20th in Brandon.

18-year-old Nicholas Genaille of Brandon and a 17-year-old male each face two counts of robbery and disguise with intent, as well as one count each of break and enter and possession of property obtained by crime. 

Genaille also faces charges of uttering threats and possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose.

Both suspects are due in Minnedosa court on March 19th.
