Police in Quebec have arrested a man following a robbery at the Société québécoise du cannabis (SQDC) in Saint-Georges, according to local media outlets. 

The Sûreté du Québec is said to have intervened after receiving a call around 12:30 pm on January 13th following a robbery at the Société québécoise du cannabis (SQDC) in Saint-Georges. 

“The suspect allegedly broke into the business on 107th Street. He grabbed products on the premises before fleeing in a vehicle,” explained Sûreté du Québec spokesperson Béatrice Dorsainville in one local media report. A search operation was quickly set up to locate the vehicle and its driver.

Thirty minutes after the start of the operation, the suspect was intercepted and arrested on Route 173 in Saint-Joseph, thanks to information obtained from the public. 

Investigators will contact the man once his condition allows.
