25-Year-Old Man Faces a Dozen Charges After Multiple Incidents At Two Businesses

A 23-year-old Peterborough man is facing a dozen charges from several incidents at two local businesses over the past two weeks.

At roughly 5 p.m. on Wednesday, officers attended a Parkway and Lansdowne Street area business, following up on several reports of thefts and robbery where reports of pepper spray and a knife were brandished on two occasions. 

Shortly after the officers left, the Loss Prevention Officer for the business reported that the suspect returned to another business and left with items without paying. 

Officers returned and located a suspect in a back parking lot in the Lansdowne Street and High Street area. The suspect started to run as officers approached but was quickly apprehended and taken the suspect into custody. A search of the area between where the suspect was arrested and the business turned up two stolen items. 

As a result of the investigation, a 23-year-old Peterborough man was arrested and charged with:

Tuesday incident:

  • Theft under $5000
