Chatham-Kent Police Service officials allege around 7:30 p.m. last night, a man attended his cousin’s residence in Wallaceburg and asked to use the washroom.
While there, the man allegedly placed two Bluetooth speakers and three baseball caps in a backpack.
He then grabbed the woman’s bicycle and walked towards the door to leave.
The woman stood near the door in an attempt to stop him from leaving with her property.
The man pushed the woman out of the way and left with the stolen items.
Shortly after 5 a.m. this morning, the man returned to the woman’s home and police were called.
As the man was placed under arrest, he pulled away from the officer and actively resisted being apprehended.
The officer deployed his conductive energy weapon (taser) and with the assistance of a second officer, the man was taken into custody.
The 21-year-old man of no fixed address has been charged with robbery, being in possession of property obtained by a crime under $5,000 and resisting a peace officer.
He has been held in custody pending a bail hearing.
The woman’s bicycle was recovered, however the speakers and ball caps are still missing.
