Later that day, at 5 p.m., officers arrested Steven William Wonta,54, on Worthington Street West.
All three men are from North Bay and all face the following six charges:
- One count of break, enter & commit;
- One count of point firearm;
- One count of utter threats to cause death;
- One count of extortion with firearm;
- One count of robbery with firearm; and
