A Thunder Bay man is facing several charges after a robbery at a Sioux Lookout hotel during the early-morning hours of Wednesday.
Sioux Lookout OPP said the male front desk clerk was approached by a masked male around 4:30 a.m. and a demand for money was made.
The man forced the clerk to the till area and was given a quantity of cash.
Police said the clerk was able to force the male out of the hotel after other property was taken, but suffered injuries as a result.
The suspect then fled the property, leaving behind the cash. Police eventually located the suspect.
Alex Basketwang, 30, of Thunder Bay, has been charged with robbery, obstruct police, and disguise with intent.
