A 25-year-old man was arrested after a number of robberies in the 100 block of Salter Street on Tuesday.
At around 10 p.m. police received a report of robbery at a convenience store on Salter Street. Police were told a man entered the business, threatened staff and stole a number of items. The man came back a short time later to steal more things.
He then returned for a third time but staff had locked the door. He threatened the staff and got away empty-handed, then crossed the street and tried to get into a gas station. He threatened staff there and broke a window there before being restrained by staff until police arrived.
Aaron Jay Ross was charged with two counts of robbery, four counts of uttering threats and mischief under $5,000.
