Sault Ste. Marie Police Service has some pretty keen officers, says Sault Ste. Marie Police Service constable Sonny Spina.

On Saturday night at about 7:15 p.m., officers arrested two persons wanted in connection with what Peel police believe is the murder of a missing 35-year-old Brampton woman.

"I'm glad we were able to help them (Peel police)," Sonny told SooToday. "I mean that's what this is all about, police services working together."

Spina said Sault police officers on duty had an idea of where to find the suspects and were keen to arrest them when local police received information about them from Peel.
