Waterloo Regional Police are looking into a pair of armed robberies.
The first happened around nine last night, as two males held up a convenience store on Country Hill Drive in Kitchener.
Police say the pair made off with some cash.
An unidentified weapon was produced, but no one was hurt.
One suspect is described as white, 15 to 17 years old, 5′ 7″ with a thin build.
He was wearing a black hooded top and a balaclava. The second suspect is white, 6′ tall and thin.
He was dressed all in black and was wearing a mask.
Then, just before 11 last night, a man with a weapon tried to rob a McDonald’s on Victoria Street North.
Police say the clerk had trouble opening the cash register so he fled empty handed.
Police say a 28-year-old Kitchener man was arrested about two blocks away.
He faces a charge of robbery.
