Photos of the suspect can be viewed below. On Tuesday, March 25th, 2008, shortly before 5:00 p.m., Durham Regional Police were called to Hooper's Jewellers on King Street West in Bowmanville for a report of a robbery. The victim reported that three males attended the store shortly before 5:00 p.m. and waited until all other customers had left the store. The three males then produced knives and began assaulting store employees. The three males fled the store when a customer walked in the front door and observed the robbery in progress. The customer fled the store, followed by two of the knife-wielding suspects. The customer called 911 and along with two other male citizens, began chasing the suspects. Attending officers were directed to the location of the fleeing suspects, who were quickly located. One suspect was located in a nearby parking lot attempting to steal a mini-van with a screwdriver. The officer approached the male and a struggle ensued. The male was taken to the ground and arrested. He was searched and a 10" kitchen knife was discovered concealed inside the suspects' back pocket. A second suspect was taken into custody. A third suspect remains at large. The suspects obtained no jewellery or money. During the robbery, a female employee was dragged into a back room and bound with duct tape. The male threatened to kill her and attempted to stab her several times. She was later transported to hospital and underwent surgery for severe lacerations to her hand. Charles POTTS, age 23, of No Fixed Address and Michael Arthur YOUNG, age 33, of Stinson Avenue in Hamilton are jointly charged with: Attempted Robbery, Aggravated Assault, Assault with a Weapon, Weapons Dangerous, Forcible Confinement and Attempted Theft.
