A 23-year-old man was arrested June 4 for allegedly attempting to rob the Legace Convenience Store on Notre Dame Ave., said Greater Sudbury Police Service.

Police said he had a knife when he entered the store and demanded money from the clerk.

Officers found him on Frood Road a short time later.

He is charged with robbery, wearing a disguise, weapons dangerous, carrying a concealed weapon and breach of probation.

He is scheduled to appear in bail court June 7.
