At roughly 4 a.m., officers were called to a convenience store in the Clonsilla Avenue and Goodfellow Road area about a robbery in progress in which the suspect threatened the clerk with a kitchen utensil.
Officers spotted a man matching the description given to police fleeing on a bicycle. The male was stopped; however, he did not respond to further officer commands. An officer drew their conducted energy weapon and the suspect was taken into custody without incident. During the arrest, the suspect initially gave a false name.
It was also learned that the man was wanted on four warrants and in connection with two other incidents in which windows at convenience stores were broken, one in East City on Armour Road and the other on King Street, in the early morning hours of June 7.
The man was arrested on the strength of the warrants and further charged with:
Robbery with a weapon
Obstruct peace officer
Mischief Under $5,000 X2 (windows)
