Police have charged a man in connection with an armed robbery at a restaurant in Lake Echo, N.S.

Tobin Zack Simmonds of North Preston has been charged with robbery with a firearm, unauthorized possession of a firearm and possession of a weapon dangerous to public peace.

Halifax District RCMP responded to the robbery at Crazy Wheel Pizza in Lake Echo just after 10 p.m. on Monday.

Three masked men entered the business and robbed two employees at gunpoint.

The suspects fled the scene, but police say Simmonds was arrested shortly after.

Simmonds remains in custody and will appear in Dartmouth Provincial Court on Monday.

Police are still searching for the two other suspects.
