A man has been arrested in connection with an investigation into a robbery involving an axe in Toronto, police say.
Toronto police said on Oct. 25, officers received a report of a robbery in the St. Clair Avenue West and Runnymede Road area.
Officers said a man and woman entered a store and began “concealing items.”
