Three Brampton teens are facing robbery and firearms charges after allegedly holding up a Waterloo pharmacy and crashing into a cop car.
Waterloo Regional Police say male suspects entered a pharmacy in the area of Woolwich St. and Falconridge Dr. in Waterloo around 7:35 p.m. on Wednesday (Dec. 8), and demanded cash and narcotics from staff.
One of the suspects led police on a foot chase before he was arrested, and a police dog helped track down a second suspect who was arrested a short distance away.
Police say a third suspect was waiting outside the business in a stolen vehicle and attempted to flee the area. The suspect reportedly crashed into an unmarked police vehicle while trying to make a getaway and was also arrested.
Investigators seized suspected cocaine and a loaded firearm from inside the vehicle, and three males from Brampton have been charged.
