Two facing charges in string of historic robberies

Windsor police have charged two individuals in a string of local robberies that happened between March and May of 2019.

Investigators then identified a second suspect in the robbery -- 25-year-old Jeremiah Dinsculescu. He was arrested and charged with robbery on Saturday.

Police linked the suspects to a robbery on Drouillard Road that happened just before the robbery on Wyandotte Street.
