Guelph Police have arrested and charged a man after an alleged armed robbery in the city.
Police say at approximately 4 a.m. on Wednesday they were called to a business on Silvercreek Parkway North.

A 24-year-old Guelph man has been charged with a number of offences including robbery, weapons dangerous, and break and enter.
The man is being held for a bail hearing.
Police were able to recover the ditched cash.
The K9 unit was also brought in and the dog was able to find items that appear to be related to both incidents.
