Man charged in attempted robbery in Hanover

Hanover Police are asking the public's help in their investigation of an armed robbery.

Police say a man walked into the Circle K convenience store on 10th Street on Monday around 4:47 p.m. He had a knife and demanded money from the clerk before fleeing the scene.

The clerk wasn't physically hurt.

A short time later, officers found a man matching the description of the suspect a few blocks from the scene and took him into custody without incident.

On Tuesday, police searched a hotel room on 7th Avenue and found a mask, clothing, knife and money.

A 31-year-old of no fixed address was charged.

Police are now asking for help collecting surveillance and dash cam video from the area between the convenience store and the Traveller's Inn motel. They believe the suspect travelled down 6th Avenue, behind the former John Diefenbaker Secondary School.

Anyone with footage is asked to call Hanover Police Service or Crime Stoppers.
