The two accused were charged with multiple counts of robbery and use of an imitation firearm following three street robberies committed in less than an hour.
The Crown's case on identity relied heavily on the testimony of the driver of the getaway vehicle, an accomplice charged separately.
The court applied the Vetrovec principles to scrutinize the accomplice's evidence.
Despite inconsistencies in the accomplice's attempts to minimize his own involvement, the court found his identification of the accused reliable and corroborated by the victims' descriptions.
Both accused were found guilty as co-principals or aiders and abettors.
