Four Brampton residents are facing charges after a cell phone store was robbed in Milton.

It happened on Aug. 29 around 10:55 a.m..

Four males went to the Rogers store at 85 Main Street E.

Three suspects entered the store — one brandishing a knife — and confronted staff. 

A large quantity of cell phones was stolen along with cash.

No injuries were reported.

The suspects fled in a stolen vehicle, say Halton police.

A member of the public saw the licence plate and provided a description of the vehicle.

Plain clothes detectives caught up to the stolen car and a subsequent investigation led to the suspects being traced to Brampton. 

With the assistance of Peel police, four males were arrested without incident. 

A search warrant was executed at a Brampton home, with investigators seizing two stolen vehicles, cash, weapons and other evidence including the stolen cell phones.

Deante Nelson, 19, and Saad Fouad, 21, plus two youths – whose names are protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act- are facing a slew of charges including; robbery, breach of probation, breach of recognizance and possession of stolen property. All were scheduled to appear in Milton court on Thursday.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Det.-Const.Slade at 905-825-4747 ext. 2456.
