The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary says a man has been arrested for robbing a Tim Horton's in Corner Brook.

Police said they first encountered the man when they received a call around 6:15 a.m. on Sunday that he was walking down Main Street with a knife.

The RNC said they visited the street and disarmed the man without incident.

But shortly afterwards, police said they received a call that the man had previously gone into a Tim Horton's on Mount Bernard Avenue with a knife and demanded money from workers.

Police said there were no injuries to staff, and the man is now in police custody. He attended court on Sunday afternoon and was charged with armed robbery and possession of a weapon dangerous to the public.

He will appear in provincial court on Monday morning.
