Three suspects have now been arrested and charged in connection with a violent robbery in Windsor's Walkerville neighbourhood just over two weeks ago.

Shortly after 7 a.m. on July 4, Windsor police were called about a robbery in progress at a house in the 1000 block of Lincoln Road. 

Once on scene, officers found a man injured and unconscious lying outside a garage.

The victim was rushed to the hospital, where he remained in intensive care. 

Officers learned that the victim had confronted three male suspects who were breaking into his garage. 

A violent struggle ensued, and the suspects assaulted the victim with weapons before fleeing the scene.

Three hours later, officers located and arrested a suspect at the Windsor Regional Hospital’s Met Campus, while a second suspect was taken into custody later that evening at a residence in the 1000 block of Albert Road.

A 57-year-old man and a 35-year-old man were each charged with robbery, aggravated assault, assault with a weapon, and break-and-enter with intent to commit an indictable offence. 

The 35-year-old suspect also faced an additional charge of assault causing bodily harm.

An arrest warrant was issued for a 38-year-old man, who was wanted on charges of robbery, aggravated assault, assault with a weapon, and break-and-enter with intent to commit an indictable offence.

Police say the 38-year-old suspect was taken into custody on the morning of Friday Jul. 19. 

Police say the victim has since been released from hospital.
