A hooded man who committed an armed robbery in Terrebonne was arrested late Thursday evening.
It all started when around 6:30 p.m. the 19-year-old suspect showed up at a convenience store on rue Rodrigue, near rue du Châtaignier.
He demanded money and cigarettes from the cashier, who complied at gunpoint.

The thief left the business with his loot under the eyes of a witness present in the area, according to the Terrebonne-Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines-Bois-des-Filion police department.
It was thanks to this witness that the police quickly located the suspect in a wooded area, before proceeding to his arrest, said a police spokesman.

The bag constituting the stolen loot should be returned to the owner of the business, according to the police, adding that no shots were fired by the suspect.
