By Mike Vlasveld

Two ottawa men, both federal parolees, are facing charges in connection with an armed robbery at a Navan business.

Ottawa police officers were called to a robbery in progress at a business on Mer Bleue Road at Navan Road, Sunday just after 9 a.m. 

According to police, two armed men wearing masks had robbed a business of cash and were trying to get away, but were being chased by an employee.

The employee's car and the get-away vehicle had crashed, so the robbers were taking off on foot.

Officers were able to arrested the two suspects a short time later.

Victor Bulgar, 41, and Jean-Francois Darilus, 29 each face charges of:

  • Robbery with a weapon
  • Mischief to property
  • Wearing a disguise
  • Weapons possession 
  • Dangerous driving

Bulgar faces an additional charge of theft over $5,000.

The accused are scheduled to appear in court, Monday.
