A 26-year-old man is facing multiple charges after an attempted robbery Tuesday night.

Around 5:00 p.m. on October 1, 2024, police received a report of a man carrying a machete and stealing items from a store in the 400 block of Confederation Drive.

Arriving officers quickly located the suspect; however, he evaded police and ran across multiple lanes of traffic while carrying the machete. A Conducted Energy Weapon (CEW) was deployed by an officer causing the man to drop the machete. He was arrested without further incident and has been charged with robbery, carrying a concealed weapon, and was also found to be breaching court-imposed conditions.
