Twin brothers, their two sons, and the cousin who disclosed company information were those arrested.  York Chief Armand La Barge said that police made the arrest as the five planned another robbery for Quebec.

They will be transferred to Newmarket, Ontario to appear in court.  Christopher Reinards, 26, was the Garda supervisor from Toronto who will also face charges.
