Three London men are facing multiple charges after police allege a convenience store on Richmond Street in the downtown core was robbed Monday morning by three men wearing face masks.
It happened around 6:24 a.m. at a store in the 300-block of Richmond Street, police said. The three demanded cash and merchandise, and one of the suspect allegedly threatened an employee with a hammer, police said.
The group then fled with a quantity of cash and merchandise, police said. The store’s employee was not physically hurt, and the incident was caught on surveillance video.
About six hours later, just before 12:30 p.m., police said they took three men into custody at an address close to the convenience store in the 100-block of King Street.
Police say they recovered cash, stolen merchandise, and a small quantity of fentanyl and methamphetamine.
