At about 8:15 p.m. Friday, a man allegedly entered a business in the area of Richmond Street and Queens Avenue.
Police said that the man then tried to cover his face with a ski mask and stole property from the business.
Then, police said that a security guard approached the man, who then allegedly brandished a knife and fled the store.

No injuries were reported.
As a result, a 33-year-old London man has been charged with armed robbery and disguise with intent.
