The suspects in an unprovoked assault at a Timmins convenience store have been identified, with one of the suspects still being sought by police.
The investigation and arrest of one suspect also led to police seizing a loaded handgun, drugs and locating a vehicle stolen from Sudbury earlier this month.
On July 15 just before 2 a.m., a person was assaulted outside of the Circle K store at Algonquin Boulevard West and Cameron Street. The victim received serious, but non-life-threatening injuries, said Timmins Police in a news release.
The two, 17-year-old suspects were identified by police and charged with assault causing bodily harm.
On July 18, police found one of the suspects inside a vehicle and they were arrested for the Circle K incident. They were also charged with obstructing police and assaulting police for an altercation during the arrest.
There is a warrant for the second suspect in the assault.
The other people in the car — an 18-year-old and two, 15-year-olds — fled the scene and were found at a Sixth Avenue residence. The vehicle they were in was reported stolen from Sudbury on July 12.
Officers contained the Sixth Avenue residence while the teens were arrested. A loaded handgun, fentanyl and cash were found on one of the suspects, said police.
