London man facing criminal charges after incident at Goderich convenience store

(GODERICH, ON) - A 20-year-old London man is facing four criminal charges, following an incident that played out early Tuesday morning, May 23, at a Goderich convenience store.

Shortly before 1 a.m., Huron County OPP officers responded to a panic alarm at a convenience store located on Victoria Street South. As police responded to the call, they were informed the suspect was acting in a threatening manner by trying to steal items, knocking over displays and jumping up onto the front counter.
 
Upon arrival, officers located the male suspect standing outside the store in a nearby parking lot. The man refused to comply with police instructions; therefore, officers deployed a Conducted Energy Weapon to take him into custody without further incident.
 
Bradley HILLIARD, 20, of London has been charged with Robbery and three counts of Fail to Comply with Probation Order. He remains in custody with a video court appearance scheduled for May 26, at the Ontario Court of Justice - Goderich.
