A Sudbury man and London woman have been charged with the armed robbery of the Goderich Walmart that took place last month.

The incident occurred on Monday, Jan. 23, around 9:30 p.m. Two suspects, a male and female had reportedly stolen numerous items from the store and loaded the items into a smaller SUV just outside the building.

According to Huron County OPP, during the robbery, the male suspect brandished a knife and threatened the employees, also threatening them with a gun though one was not observed.

Photos of the suspects were released to the public and police say two observant citizens helped them track the duo down a few days later.

Now, a 33-year-old man from Sudbury is facing charges including armed robbery and possession of a weapon and property obtained by crime. He remains in custody awaiting a bail hearing.

A 49-year-old woman from London also faces charges for armed robbery and possession of property obtained by crime. She was released with a court appearance in Goderich in March.
