Police release photo of robbery suspect
Chatham-Kent police have released a surveillance photo of a suspect who is wanted in connection with an armed robbery in Chatham.
Police said the man pictured allegedly below walked into the Circle K store on McNaughton Avenue West at around 5 a.m. Monday and demanded cash.
He was also allegedly holding a knife at the time.
The accused took off before police could arrive, so they're hoping members of the public can help identify him.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Constable Peter Chandler at peterc@chatham-kent.ca or 519-436-6600 extension #8107332.
Anonymous callers may call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) and may be eligible for a cash reward.

Impaired driving charge laid after a roadside stop
A 27-year-old Chatham man will have to hitch a ride with someone else for the next little while after police pulled his vehicle over -- and then off the road.
Police said they stopped the vehicle just after 7 p.m. Monday after getting a call about a possible impaired driver.
Officers on general patrol were able to track down the suspect on Park Avenue in Chatham and pulled him over. The officer at the scene suspected the man was driving under the influence of alcohol, so he was taken back to police headquarters for further breath tests.
The accused was later charged with having a blood alcohol concentration over the legal limit and was later released with conditions and a future court date.
Police said the man's vehicle was also towed from the scene and impounded temporarily.
