RCMP persistence pays off in 2010 Glenholme robbery

TRURO – A man and woman from Bible Hill are among four people charged by Colchester RCMP in a robbery that occurred in Glenholme almost three years ago.

Michael Hartling, 26, and Victoria Baird, 22, both of Bible Hill, are scheduled to appear in provincial court in Truro on March 6.

Their co- accused, Trevor Jackson, 23, of Halifax, and Matthew Johnson, who is currently incarcerated in Dorchester Penitentiary on other offences, are scheduled to appear at the same time. All four individuals have been charged with robbery and conspiracy to commit an indictable offence.

The arrests stem from an incident that occurred on Sept. 29, 2010 when two males armed with knives entered the Glenholme General Store on Highway 4 and attempted to rob the owner. The owner was not injured and the suspects fled the scene empty handed.
