An attempted robbery and biting at a store near Dundas and Clarke Road has a 17-year-old girl facing charges.
It happened on Wednesday afternoon, London police say.
Just before 5 p.m., a young woman entered a store, picked up several items and left the store without paying. A staff member tried to get the stolen items back, and the teen allegedly tried to bite the employee.
The suspect then ran off.
A youth was arrested Wednesday evening after two robberies in the east end of the city.
Police were called and went to the area and got a suspect description.
Shortly after that, a youth wearing a bandana entered a mini-mart not far from the first store.
She pointed a knife at the employee, threatened him and then assaulted him.
The suspect was restrained by a customer coming into the store and police were called.
Investigators say the same teen was responsible for both robberies.
She also tried to kick officers and the windows of a police cruiser when she was arrested.
The teen faces eight charges, including:
• Robbery
• Armed robbery
• Disguise with intent
• Assault with a weapon
• Resist arrest
• Uttering threats of death or bodily harm
One victim suffered minor injuries.
The suspect can't be named due to the Youth Criminal Justice act.
