Police also charged a St. Catharines man, accusing them of robbing a man riding his scooter

A 14-year old boy, along with a 22-year old St. Catharines man, are charged after a man was robbed while riding his scooter.

Police were called around 4:30 Tuesday morning to the scene on Portage Road, near Fallsview Blvd in Niagara Falls.

Turns out the man was riding along when stopped by two people driving a stolen vehicle.   Police believe a gun was pointed at him, at which time he was robbed, the suspects taking off in the vehicle along with the scooter.

Late Wednesday afternoon, police surrounded a Ferndale Avenue house in Fort Erie, where they caught the suspects after a short foot chase.

And at around 1, yesterday morning, police searched the house and recovered the stolen property.

Police say Kia Pagan Sandino is facing a raft of charges.

  • Carrying Concealed Weapon
  • Carrying Concealed Weapon Prohibited Device or Ammunition
  • Possess Restricted or Prohibited Firearm without Holding a Licence
  • Possess Prohibited/Restricted Weapon or Prohibited Device (x2)
  • Possess Loaded Regulated Firearm
  • Possession of a Weapon
  • Possession of a Prohibited Device or Ammunition
  • Carry Firearm, Weapon, Prohibited Device or Ammunition in Careless Manner (x2)
  • Unauthorized Possession of a Prohibited or Restricted Weapon
  • Unauthorized Possession of a Prohibited Device or Ammunition

The 14-year old is charged with robbery with a firearm.

Police add further charges are expected.

Both had a bail hearing in St. Catharines yesterday.
