A convenience store robbery has led to charges for a man in Sarnia.

Police say the incident happened just before 5:30 a.m. Thursday at a store on Indian Road at Confederation Street.

A man entered the store and allegedly demanded money from the cash register. An unidentifiable object was seen in his hand, and police say the suspect chased the clerk around the store before the clerk locked himself in another room to wait for police.

Officers searched the area and found the suspect on Borden Street and placed him under arrest. When police searched him, they said they found a makeshift weapon that had been brandished during the robbery.

The accused, a 28-year-old man of no fixed address, was also subject to two probation orders at the time of this offence.

He has been charged with robbery, ‘wear disguise,’ and two counts of breach of probation.
