The second suspect escaped by jumping into a nearby lake.

Police also recovered a .45 pistol which contained seven rounds of ammunition.

In the second incident, shortly after 1am on Wednesday, a man who was sitting in a black Nissan Cube in the Fort Montagu parking lot, was approached by two armed men who came from a silver Toyota Passo and robbed him of cash and other items before stealing his vehicle and driving away.
