Police  also  tracked down a suspoect in a hold up at London Drugs.  Store staff say a lone male entered the store in Parkwood Place around 8:30,  went to the electronics area, forced open the cash register till , grabbed the cash and made a run for it.  Security staff took up the chase and said the suspect  appeared to have a handgun.
