One person is in custody after they tried to rob a Swan River business with pieces of a broken CD.
Police were called to an armed robbery at a business in the 1200 block of Main Street in Swan River late Sunday morning. They were told that someone had come into the business to try and buy cigarettes but didn't have anything to pay for the items.
The man left but returned soon after with sharp shards of a broken CD. He threatened the employee and demanded cigarettes and the keys to the employee's vehicle.
The suspect fled the store empty-handed once he found out that police were on the way, but officers were able to identify him thanks to security footage.
Police located the suspect walking in the community soon after.
47-year-old Frank Keewatin from Cote First Nation in Saskatchewan was arrested and charged with Robbery with Other Offensive Weapon. He was remanded in custody, where he remains.
