Robbery – Charge Laid

File: 202223514

Charlottetown Police Services have charged a 30 year old Charlottetown male with Robbery.

At 8:20 pm last night (Jan 6), the complaint told Police that he had been approached on Grafton Street by another male asking for money.  When the complainant refused, the male suspect kept asking for money and became aggressive in his demands, told the male that he would just take his money and gestured as if he was going to get something out of his back pocket.  The complainant fled at that point and called Police.

The suspect was located in the area a short time later and arrested.   No weapon was located on the male suspect when searched.  The accused was taken into custody and charged with Robbery.   He will appear in Provincial Court at a later date.
