New Brunswick Man Charged in Geary Robbery Case

Police have arrested a 31-year-old New Brunswick man in connection with a robbery that took place in Geary earlier this week.

Police say that at around 8 p.m. Monday night, a man wearing a mask entered the Petro-Canada gas station on Broad Road demanding money.

The thief made off with an undisclosed amount of cash and tobacco products. Luckily, no one was injured.
