Two people arrested in connection with a violent carjacking in Brampton in January have been released on bail.

Peel police said a couple were getting out of their vehicle near Queen Street East and Goreway Drive in the early morning hours of Jan. 10 when two masked suspects approached them.

“At this point it is alleged that the suspects then assaulted the male victim and stole the couple’s vehicle before fleeing the area,” police said in a news release.

Officers responded and one suspect was arrested shortly after.

The other suspect was arrested on June 18 in Vaughan following what police said was a “targeted surveillance operation.”

The two suspects have been identified as 23-year-old Evan Nurse of Vaughan and 23-year-old Shemar Sallaby of Brampton.

Each has been charged with robbery, disguise with intent, flight from a peace officer, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and two counts of possession of property obtained by crime.

“They were both held for a bail hearing and appeared before the Ontario Court of Justice in Brampton where they were released under a number of conditions,” police said.
