A Cambridge man was arrested July 20 following an armed robbery that occurred earlier this month at a Dollar General in Fairfax, according to the Vermont State Police.

Christopher W. Sizen, 39, was taken into custody in St. Albans without incident. His arrest was facilitated with the assistance of the St. Albans City Police Department and tips from the public.

The robbery in question occurred on the evening of July 4, at around 5:45 p.m. An individual clad in black entered the Dollar General store located on Colonial Road, Fairfax, brandishing a firearm and demanding cash from the clerk.

The suspect fled with an undisclosed amount of money, driving away in a white utility truck with a ladder rack on the top and a female companion. Fortunately, no one was injured during the incident. Sizen, who fits the description of the male suspect, is facing charges of armed robbery, aggravated assault, grand larceny, and petit larceny. He was held at the Northwest State Correctional Facility with bail set at $10,000.

On July 11 at about 8:30 AM, Burlington police were called to a Pearl Street store where Sizen was allegedly trying to steal money out of the cash register. While officers were enroute, customers restrained him. Police say Sizen tried to take money out of the register and threatened the cashier. The cashier refused to give Sizen money and told him to leave the store. Two customes intervened and held Sizen outside until officers arrived.

Sizen was taken into custody, brought to the hospital, and then to BPD where he was charged with attempted assault and robbery.
