Arrest Made After Theft From Business by Man Armed With Pitch Fork.

At 7:30 am this morning, the Truro Police Service received a panic alarm at the Proxi convenience store at Queen St and Walker St.

Responding patrol officers confirmed a male had entered the store armed with a pitchfork and stole cigarettes.

Officers established containment of the area and began searching for the suspect who was apprehended behind an apartment building on Walker Street a short time later. The stolen property was recovered, and the male was safely arrested.

The accused, a 38-year-old male of no fixed address, remains in custody and will appear in Truro Provincial Court later today.
