Cunningham and Wallace Bench of Hespeler in connection with the robberies. Cunningham was traced to Toronto, and when arrested had in his possession twelve of the missing money orders and a full set of burglars' tools. His disclosures caused the later arrest of Bench, who was working in a local factory. Both prisoners admitted their guilt, and their arrest clears up a case that has bothered the police for some time.
