Officers with the Community Response Team arrested a male shortly after responding to a robbery that had just occurred at the Mac's Convenience Store located on North Edward Street on September 13, 2018 at approximately 10:15 p.m.
The Community Response Team was doing directed patrol in the Northwood area in response to recent robberies in the area when the call for service for the robbery was dispatched.
