BELLEVILLE, Ont. — Police say two more people have been arrested in connection with the thefts of several boxes of “roll up the rim to win” cups from a Tim Hortons in Belleville, Ont.

A 17-year-old Belleville boy was charged on Tuesday with one count of break, enter and theft, and he was released from custody with a court date in March.

Police say an 18-year-old Belleville man turned himself in on Wednesday, and he was also charged with one count of break, enter and theft.

A 19-year-old Stirling, Ont., man was charged on Feb. 2 with two counts of break, enter and theft, and he was further charged Thursday with theft under $5,000.

The two men have March 16 court dates.

Investigators say the 19-year-old was a former employee at a Tim Hortons, where a number of boxes containing “roll up the rim to win” cups were stolen during break and enters to a storage facility in late January.
