Yesterday afternoon, shortly after 4 p.m., an unknown man entered Piggy Mart on McNaughton Avenue East in Chatham, while brandishing a weapon. He demanded money, but what he got was the alarm.

Chatham-Kent police say the cashier activated an audible alarm and the man fled southbound on Taylor Avenue without obtaining anything

No one was injured.

The suspect is described as a white man, in his mid 20s, approximately 6’0” in height with a skinny build. He was last seen wearing a black hoodie, black pants, black and white running shoes, black gloves and a camouflage scarf covering his face.
