The pair were due to appear in court Monday facing a catalogue of charges. The first suspect, a 21-year-old man from West Bay, was rounded up Thursday 23 March and is now facing charges of robbery, wounding, possession of a restricted weapon, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, possession and consumption of ganja and disorderly conduct at a police station. The second suspect, a 30-year-old man also from West Bay, arrested Friday has been charged with wounding and affray.
