RCMP Halifax Regional Detachment has charged a man involved in a robbery that occurred in Lower Sackville.
On January 15, at approximately 5:50 a.m., RCMP officers responded to a report of a robbery at a gas station on Cobequid Rd. Investigators learned that a man entered the business, brandished a knife and demanded cash and cigarettes before fleeing on foot.
There were no injuries reported.
A search of the area, assisted by Police Dog Services of the Halifax Regional Police, led officers to a home on Dickey Dr., where two men were safely arrested.
Later that morning, a search warrant was executed at the residence. Officers seized cash, cigarettes and a knife from the property.
Matthew Christopher Specht, 38, from Middle Sackville, has been charged with:
- Robbery
- Mischief
- Uttering Threats
- Possession of a Weapon for a Dangerous Purpose
- Carrying a Concealed Weapon
Specht appeared in Dartmouth Provincial Court and was remanded into custody. He will return in court on February 10, at 9:30 a.m.
The second man was released without charges.
