An arrest has been made in connection to an armed robbery in downtown Peterborough last month.
Police say around 1 a.m. on Sept. 1 two men on George Street South approached another man from behind and grabbed the man’s arm. Both suspects brandished weapons and demanded the victim turn over money.
“One of the males then grabbed the victim’s wallet, stealing all of the cash inside, and handed the empty wallet back to the victim,” police said.
