Reported Attempted Armed Robbery at Point Mart

At 12:45pm today (Tuesday, November 1st) police attended a report of an attempted armed robbery that took place at Point Mart on St. John’s Road in Pembroke.

It appears that a male entered the premises, brandished what was believed to be a firearm and made demands of money.

At the time there were patrons in the store as well as employees. However, no injuries were reported.

The suspect apparently left the store empty handed, then got on an awaiting motorcycle driven by another male and fled the scene, heading in a westerly direction on St. John’s Road then east along North Shore Road.

An active investigation is underway and any witnesses or persons with relevant information should contact the Criminal Investigation Department on 247-1744 or the anonymous and confidential Crime Stoppers hotline 800-8477.


All incidents are under investigation. Police are appealing to members of the public who have witnessed these incidents or may have information pertaining to them to contact their respective Police Station, Police Headquarters at 295-0011 or the confidential Crimestoppers Hotline on 1 (800) 623-8477.
