Halifax Regional Police have charged a man after a vehicle was reported stolen from a gas station at the end of December.

Police say they received a report just before 7 p.m. on Dec. 30 that a man stole a vehicle at a gas pump while the driver was inside the Robie Street Shell station.

Shortly after, police responded to a robbery at a Needs convenience store on Herring Cove Road.

“A man entered the store, threatened the clerk with a knife and demanded cash. The man fled the store with an undisclosed amount of cash and left the area in a car,” police said in a release.

Investigators identified one suspect in connection with the theft of the vehicle and the store robbery.
