A pair of Chatham men face charges after a gunpoint robbery Sunday morning.

Chatham-Kent police say they followed the victims home following a night of revelry.

Police got the call shortly after 6:30 a.m. from a residence on Wellington Street West in Chatham.

Officers learned the victims returned to the apartment after spending a night out. Shortly after their return, the two men arrived. The men and the victims are known to each other and had spent the evening together.

The two men arrived with firearms and demanded money and other valuable items, police say. The two men left with the items.

Police located the two on O’Neil Street in Chatham and they were arrested.

The men, aged 21 and 23, both of Chatham, are charged with break and enter with the intent to commit robbery, pointing a firearm, unauthorized possession of a firearm, and possession of a dangerous weapon. They were transported to police headquarters and held pending a bail hearing.

As a result of the bail hearing, both men were remanded into custody and transported to the Southwest Regional Detention Centre. Their next court appearance has been scheduled for Jan. 22.
