BLIND RIVER - On Nov. 28, 2021 at approximately 1:15 p.m., members from the East Algoma Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) were called to a robbery occurrence near Woodward Avenue in Blind River.

The complainant had reported that a person known to them grabbed a bag off their shoulder while walking. When the person knew police were called, the bag was dropped and the person fled on foot. Police were unable to locate the individual at that time so an arrest warrant was issued.
