Niagara police are investigating an armed robbery at a “cash and services” business in St. Catharines.

The other male was roughly six-feet tall, with a medium build and was wearing a dark coloured coat, a blue hooded sweathshirt and dark coloured pants.

Anyone with information that could help police with the investigation is asked to contact investigators at 905 688-4111, ext. 9628.
