Vernon store owner apprehends robbery suspect
VERNON, B.C. — A Vernon robbery suspect — who was apprehended by a store owner last week — will return to court Thursday for a bail hearing.
32 year old Heron Taylor was in court Monday, facing five charges of including robbery, possession of stolen property, assault with a weapon, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and flight from a peace officer, after attempting to rob Charlie’s Grocery on 32nd Avenue Friday afternoon.
A man pulled out a hammer and demanded money from the female attendant, who was also the store’s co owner.
The woman told her husband, Tom Maxwell, who was in the back, they were being robbed, and Maxwell pursued the suspect outside the store and held him until police arrived.
