A dog was stolen Tuesday night in an armed robbery in downtown Windsor, according to police. Just before 6:30 p.m., police were called to the incident in the 1600 block of Ouellette Avenue. They said the victim was walking his dog when two suspects pulled up in a vehicle, got out, and demanded the owner give up the dog. When the victim refused, the female suspect allegedly unclipped the dog from its harness while the male suspect sprayed the victim in the face with pepper spray. Officers said a struggle then took place after the man forcibly took the dog from the victim’s arms. The victim was then reportedly knocked to the ground and his leg was cut. The suspects left the area with the dog. The Windsor Police Service was quickly able to identify the suspects and found them in the 1700 block of Curry Avenue. Both were arrested without incident, and the dog was safely reunited with its owner. A 38-year-old woman has been charged with robbery with violence, and a 19-year-old man has been charged with robbery with an offensive weapon.
