Two people have been taken into custody following reports of a string of violent incidences in Orillia.
The OPP say two suspects forced their way into a home on Coldwater Road around 12:30 Wednesday morning and assaulted one of the residents there. A vehicle was stolen, used to flee the scene and proceed to a business on Atherley Road. That’s where OPP say an edged weapon and blunt objects were used to rob the business. The pair then fled the scene.
