A 39-year-old man has been charged in connection with an ongoing armed robbery investigation by London police.

Police searched a home on Platts Lane Friday in relation to the probe, which dates back to Aug. 25, when investigators say a man was allegedly robbed of his casino winnings.

According to police, the victim went to a casino around 3 p.m., and while playing the slots, won a large sum of money. While there, police say the victim met another man, and later went for a ride with him in his vehicle.

During this ride, police allege the accused robbed the victim after producing what appeared to be a handgun. No injuries were reported.
