THUNDER BAY -- A 27-year-old woman faces robbery-related charges after a robbery at a north-side automated teller machine.

Thunder Bay Police say a 20-year-old woman was withdrawing cash late Sunday afternoon at TD Bank’s Dawson Street location when the suspect approached her, threatened her with a syringe and demanded cash.

The suspect fled with the money and the victim’s bank card, but was stopped by the victim’s boyfriend who recovered both the money and the card before the suspect fled the scene.

Police were called and located the suspect on Piccadilly Avenue and Sydney Street a few minutes later.

Ashley Hoard appeared in court on Monday morning and has been remanded into custody.
