UPDATE: Suspect turns himself in after attempted convenience store robbery

A Bruce County man is facing charges following an attempted robbery at a convenience store in Port Elgin.

Hours after police released information about the incident, including pictures of a suspect, a Bruce County man turned himself in at police headquarters. He is now charged with break and enter with intent to commit an indictable offence and assault.
