Police Nab Two In Connection To Armed Robberies

Two men are in police custody in connection with two armed robberies last week.  A masked gunman robbed the Somerset Pub last Tuesday and the Colonial Inn on Thursday.

The pair were pulled over in Rothesay on the Marr Road early yesterday around 5:30 and were charged with possession of stolen merchandise by Rothesay Regional Police.  They were then handed over to the Saint John Police Force.

Both men are in the 20's.

Meanwhile, city fire crews battling two car fires on Demille Street on the city's west side.  The call came in around 11:30 last night.  No one was hurt and the fires are considered to be suspicious.
