A keen eye by an HRP West Division patrol officer spied a suspicious
male running through a parking lot at this location. Almost immediately
a 911 call came in reporting a robbery at the Needs store nearby. The
accused fled on foot and was arrested quickly by responding patrol
officers. No injuries resulted.

A 15 year old male is being held in custody to appear in Halifax
Provincial Youth Court later today charged with robbery, possession of a
weapon for a dangerous purpose and wearing a disguise.
