Quinte West OPP say tips from the public helped lead to the arrest of a suspect following a convenience store robbery last August in Trenton.
Last week, OPP released several images of a suspect they say was connected to an Aug. 24 armed robbery which took place at the Riverside Convenience Store in Trenton.
Police say the man entered the store about 10 p.m. with a weapon and demanded money from an employee. He then fled the Front Street business with cash before officers arrived on scene. No one was injured.
Police on Tuesday said the images prompted “a number of tips” to the OPP’s crime unit and to Crime Stoppers.
- 2 children, 1 woman dead following collision in southeastern Saskatchewan
- Suspect in violent attack on Victoria grocery store manager re-arrested
- Toronto man guilty in rash of home invasions, vehicle thefts over 2 weeks in 2023
- Young people being recruited to commit robberies, crimes: Montreal police
“One of the tips led to the identification of the man,” said Const. Maggie Pickett.
