The second suspect, a 52-year-old male from Lindsay, was also arrested in connection with the first break-in. He faces the following charges:
- Break and Enter to Commit an Indictable Offence

Both suspects have been remanded in custody pending their appearance at the Ontario Court of Justice in Lindsay on October 10, 2024.
