A 41-year-old Sault resident has been charged for allegedly robbing a business and threatening staff with a knife.
Around 10 p.m. on Sunday, Sault Police were dispatched to a business address in the 0-100 block of Great Northern Road.
Officers later located a person matching the description of the suspect in the 200 block of McNabb Street.
Police say the suspect attempted to avoid arrest by running across the street, but was eventually arrested.
Police allege that the suspect left the unnamed business with a basket containing more than $160 worth of items. When confronted, the accused allegedly threatened staff and pulled out a knife before running from the scene.
Colin Greenan is charged with:
- robbery with weapon
- unauthorized possession of weapon
- possession of weapon for dangerous purpose
- carrying concealed weapon
- possession of prohibited weapon contrary to prohibition order
- possession of property obtained by crime – under $5,000
- failure to comply with probation order
- failure to comply with judicial release order
The accused was held in custody pending a hearing in Weekend and Statutory Holiday court.
None of the allegations have been tested in court and Greenan is considered innocent unless proven guilty.
