There has been yet another gas-station robbery in HRM. Police say two men held up the Esso station on Ochterloney Street in Dartmouth on Tuesday night. The men, both aged 40, fled with cash and cigarettes, but were arrested and charged a short time later with robbery and weapons offences.

Also this week, a Petro-Canada station on Victoria Road in Dartmouth was robbed twice over the course of nine hours. Police aren’t sure if the two Petro-Can robberies are related to the Esso holdup.
