A second suspect has been arrested in connection with a home invasion and robbery in Clarence-Rockland.

The Russell County Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) was dispatched to a home on Laurier Street shortly before 8:15 p.m. on Wednesday, May 4.

The homeowner reported that two males, dressed in police gear, but not actual uniforms, had entered the home claiming to be police officers.

OPP members located and arrested one suspect shortly after, and the second suspect was located and arrested the next day.

The investigation is ongoing and the accused remain in custody.

This does not appear to be a random incident and the OPP do not believe there is any risk to public safety.

Anyone with video or information is asked to contact Russell OPP at 1-888-310-1122. Information can also be reported anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or at www.ontariocrimestoppers.ca.
