A 40-year-old man from Sussex, N.B., has been arrested following an armed robbery in the community of Four Corners.
On January 3, 2024, shortly after 4 a.m., a member of the Sussex RCMP detachment attended a business on Route 890, in Four Corners, to fuel up a police vehicle. The employee at the business reported to the police officer that a man had just left the store after entering the business in possession of a knife and asking where the money was kept. The man left the scene approximately one minute prior to the police arriving on scene. The man did not obtain any money and no one was injured during the incident.
While at the scene, the officer witnessed a vehicle committing a traffic violation while leaving the area of the business. The officer subsequently performed a traffic stop a few kilometers away. The driver was identified as a person of interest in connection with the armed robbery, and was arrested without incident.
The driver, a 40-year-old man from Sussex, N.B., was later released on conditions and is scheduled to appear in Saint John provincial court on March 27, 2024, at 9:30 a.m.
