Police say three people have been arrested after an armed robbery in Saint John’s north end.
Sgt. Kent Atherton said they were called to Adelaide Street shortly before 7 p.m. Friday.
Atherton said two women and a man were later taken into custody at a nearby residence.
He would not say where the robbery took place or what kind of weapon was used, but did confirm no one was hurt.
UPDATE: #SaintJohn police say Adelaide Street in the city’s north end has reopened to traffic. Still no word on what prompted the heavy police presence in the first place.
