It took more than six months, but Toronto Police have arrested two Mississauga thugs who are accused of the gunpoint robbery of a store in the Alderwood area.

The two were arrested by members of the Hold Up Squad on January 6 in connection with the May 2020 heist of a store in the Brown’s Line and Horner Ave. area, police said.

The store was not identified by police.

Detectives said in a release that the suspects last May 25 entered the story and approached the counter.

“One man produced a handgun and went behind the counter and demanded cash,” officers said.

The victim opened the register and cash was taken as the second man took merchandise, police said.

Both men then fled the store.

The quick-footed duo were arrested and charges laid after police executed a search warrant on December 31 to view a property in Mississauga.

David Boutilier, 37, is charged with robbery with a firearm, wear disguise and possession of property obtained by crime.

James O’Leary, 41, is charged with robbery with a firearm, disguise with intent, possession of property under $5,000, fail to comply with a release order and fail to comply with probation.

The men appeared in Toronto West Court on January 7.
