Barrie police have arrested two people after a woman had her purse stolen Wednesday from a house on Burns Circle.
Police arrived quickly after a citizen reported the woman was chasing after one of the bandits.
One suspect was found in a backyard.
The other was found by a canine unit after a lengthy track to a house on Barrett Crescent.
Police also found several discarded packages of drugs that contained what is believed to be fentanyl as well as a bag that contained a fully loaded Glock 19, 9mm pistol.
As a result of these arrests, a 20-year-old male from Pickering and a 22-year-old from Scarborough are facing theft, weapons, drug and failing to comply charges.
Although police strongly believe that all the discarded property was located, any member of the public who may come across anything that appears to be out of place in the Burns Circle, Barrett Crescent, Dickens Drive or Mowat Crescent area is asked to immediately contact Barrie Police at 705-725-7025.
