The Sioux Lookout detachment of the OPP received reports of a robbery at a hotel just after 4:30 a.m. Wednesday. Police say a masked man demanded money from the front desk clerk of the hotel.

The suspect fled the hotel property, but let behind the hotel’s cash.

A 30-year-old Thunder Bay man was later arrested and charged with robbery, obstructing police and using a disguise with intent.

The suspect remains in police custody and is now awaiting a court appearance.
