With their investigation ongoing, the Chatham-Kent Police Service has released surveillance footage and an audio recording of a robbery suspect.
“On Monday afternoon, shortly after 4 p.m. an unknown man entered Piggy Mart on McNaughton Avenue East, while brandishing a weapon and demanded money,” police officials allege.
“The cashier activated an audible alarm and the man fled southbound on Taylor Avenue without obtaining anything. Luckily, no one was injured.”

“He was last seen wearing a black hoodie, black pants, black and white running shoes, black gloves and a camouflage scarf covering his face,” police officials allege.
In an effort to identify this man for public safety reasons, a video link of him entering Piggy Mart and an audio clip of his demands are now available:
