At 11:50 p.m. on January 24, 2021, we received a call regarding a Robbery that had taken place at a Motel on Regent Street in Greater Sudbury. Information provided was that the caller had attended the motel with another man and when they entered one of the rooms, the man hit him with a gun and then stole his cellphone, as well as, a few thousand dollars in cash.
