Robbery Suspect
A 21-year-old Chatham man is facing several charges, including assault, after allegedly stealing from a convenience store.
Back on Friday, CK police were called to a business on Grand Avenue West for a potential robbery.
When officers arrived, they were told that a man was attempting to buy some items when he started threatening another man with a weapon. It wasn't specified whether the victim was an employee or a customer.
The suspect reportedly left without paying for the items. Police later found the man with the stolen items.
It was later discovered that the man was prohibited from being at the business.
He's since been charged with armed robbery, assault with a weapon, disguise with intent, possession of property obtained by crime, and more.
He remains in police custody, awaiting a bail hearing.
