Two people were arrested “a short distance from the scene,” police said, adding that their investigation led them to previous incidents in other communities. The two men “produced identification from another country” and as of Tuesday police said they still didn’t know their actual names.
The men have been held for a bail hearing, said police, who published their photos in an effort to get the public’s help in naming them.
Anyone with information is asked to call Sarnia police Det.-Const. Erik Ostenfeldt at (519)344-8861 x 6254.
