A robbery took place Sunday morning at the liquor store owned by local businessman Jimmy Karountzos. Karountzos says when he and his staff opened shop they noticed that somebody had been there. What he didn’t bank on however, was how bizarre the events leading up to the arrest would be.

After reviewing video footage, a friend of the Karountzos family spotted the suspect at Casey’s Community House in the afternoon. Jimmy Karountzos says he engaged the suspect at the bar in order to hold and identify the young man for the RCMP.
