Two Ottawa teenagers face a number of charges in connection with at least four alleged robberies across the city.

Police said the first robbery occurred at about 12:30 a.m. July 23, when two suspects entered a gas station near the Lincoln Fields Shopping Centre on Carling Avenue, one of them indicating he had a weapon in his pocket. The pair were given cigarettes and then left the premises. No weapon was seen.

About three hours later, a man walking along Carling Avenue near the gas station was assaulted by what appears to be the same pair of suspects. A passerby broke up the confrontation, and the pair fled.

Two days later, two suspects wearing disguises entered a gas station near Innes Road and St. Laurent Boulevard at about 8:10 p.m. The pair were handed cash and cigarettes before fleeing.

Finally, on July 26, at around 11 p.m. two suspects entered a gas station near St. Laurent Boulevard and Foley Avenue. The pair were handed an undisclosed amount of cash and fled.

Two suspects were later located in the Russell Heights area and arrested without incident by police officers.

Nur Said, 18, of Ottawa faces a dozen counts including robbery, wearing a disguise and conspiracy. The second suspect, whose identity was not released because he is a minor faces eight counts on similar charges.

The suspects were to appear in court on Thursday.
