At roughly 3:15 p.m., officers arrived at the Aylmer Street and Hunter Street area regarding a street-level robbery with a knife. Officers spotted two males matching the descriptions given to police fleeing the area, one on foot and one on a bicycle. Police Service Dog Gryphon was deployed to eventually allow officers to apprehend the suspect on foot and was taken into custody. A search of the suspect revealed a pocketknife. Officers also found several IDs and credit cards not belonging to the suspect.
Officers pursued the bicycle suspect and caught up to him in the Aylmer and McDonnel Street area and were able to take him into custody. Officers found a knife and further learned the man was wanted on three warrants in connection with incidents in August and September after a search.
As a result of the investigations, a 26-year-old Peterborough man was arrested on the strength of the warrants. He is being held in custody and will appear in court on Thursday.
The 28-year-old Peterborough man was arrested and charged with:
Possession Property Obtained by Crime Under $5,000 - in Canada (Credit cards and ID)
Fraud Under $5000 (Use of credit cards)
Fail to Comply with Probation Order X2
