Two suspects were arrested after leaving a hardware store in Whitby on Thursday evening, according to police.
On March 17 at about 8:50 pm, members of Central West Division responded to the Home Depot on Garden Street for two males that were observed to be in a stolen vehicle. The males had attended the store and attempted to purchase over $5,000 in products with a credit card that was not theirs. The transaction was declined and as they left the store, members of our Tactical Support Unit arrested the two suspects. Police seized a small quantity of crystal meth on one of the suspects and seized the stolen vehicle, said a police statement.

Another of No Fixed Address, is charged with: Possess Property Obtained by Crime Over $5,000, Fraud Over $5,000 and Unlawfully Possess Schedule I Substance (crystal meth).
Both were released on Undertakings. Names and more details at www.drps.ca.
