Cape Breton Regional Police are investigating a robbery at Big Ben’s Convenience Store on Prince Street in Sydney on Sunday morning, January 7th.
Police responded to the store at approximately 2:45 AM, where a clerk reported a man had entered the store and demanded money, while threatening use of a weapon. He took money from the register and left in a vehicle, described as a grey Jeep SUV. No one was injured.
The man was wearing a black jacket with the hood up, grey sweatpants and white shoes – photos are attached. A vehicle matching the description of what he was driving, was spotted traveling on Victoria Road a short time later, and then located on a street in New Waterford Sunday afternoon, at which time officers also confirmed it had been previously reported stolen from a residence in Membertou.
Anyone with information that can help identify the man, or who saw or heard anything related to the incident, is asked to please contact police at 902-563-5151 or anonymously through Crime Stoppers.
