Police in Halifax have arrested in man in connection with two recent robberies. In both cases, the cash register from a convenience store was stolen.
The first incident happened shortly before 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 20. Police say a man walked into Daily Sweets on Oxford Street, grabbed the cash register and fled to a waiting black jeep.
“The guy looked like he was reaching for a lotto slip, grabbed the cash register and ripped it out of the wall and the counter and ran out of the store with it. The employee literally said ‘really?’ and the guy said ‘yep’, took it and ran out,” Dan Baldwin, owner of Daily Sweets, told Global News on Saturday.
