The first robbery dates back to Sept. 6, when two suspects broke into the Shell Gas Station kiosk, at 645 Third Line, and stole a large amount of cigarettes. This initial robbery was followed more than a month later by a break-in at the Canadian Tire gas bar, at 412 Dundas St. W., and two separate break-ins at the Canadian Tire gas bar, 630 Fourth Line. Each robbery took place after business hours and resulted in a large quantity of cigarettes stolen. A mini-van was seen leaving the scene of each robbery. On Monday, a Niagara Regional Police Service uniformed officer observed a suspicious blue mini-van in the Town of Welland around 4:30 a.m. Further investigation revealed the vehicle was stolen. Eventually the investigation led Halton police to lay charges against the two men in connection with the four Oakville robberies. John Michael Lenik, 46, of Wainfleet, is facing four counts of break and enter to commit theft, two counts of theft under $5,000, four counts of failing to comply with a probation order and one count of possessing stolen property.
