Excitement in St Marys

Yesterday morning after holding up a bank in North London the robber made his way to St Marys. He walked into the Stewart home pulled out a gun and demanded car keys from Katie and her mother Christine. They gave him the keys and he took off in the family's Chrysler 300. A short time later he crashed the car south of Mitchell. London police, canine units, the OPP and the police helicopter launched a search for him with the dogs finding the man a few hours later by a creek still armed with a pellet gun.

The 30-year-old from Kitchener is now charged with three counts of robbery with a weapon, four counts of pointing a firearm, one count of uttering a threat, one count of impersonation and two counts of break and enter.
