North Syracuse man arrested on robbery charges

On Tuesday, Nov. 6, 2018, at approximately 8:39 p.m., state police, along with members from the village of North Syracuse Police Department and the Onondaga County Sheriff’s Office, responded to the Rite Aid store located at 114 N. Main St., North Syracuse, for a reported robbery that just occurred.
