MIDDLEBORO— Owen Lang, a 20-year-old Kingston man, was charged with armed robbery after he stole money at Sunoco Mart at 157 Main St. on Tuesday, May 9 while possibly showing a knife, Middleboro Police reported. 

Around 5:07 p.m. Tuesday, a man wearing all black clothing entered the business, reached over the counter and grabbed money, police said. The store clerk said the man might have had a knife, police said.

After reviewing surveillance video, police put out an alert for a gray Ford Ranger, driven by a man wearing all-black clothing who police said was later identified as Lang. 

About 9 p.m, State Police saw a Ford Ranger driven by a man matching Lang’s description near Falmouth. He did not stop immediately for police, but was taken into custody a short time later by Falmouth Police, according to police.

Lang may face other charges related to the brief chase, police said. Those would be filed by State Police and/or Falmouth Police.

He was returned to Middleboro and was then transported to the Plymouth County House of Correction, where he awaits arraignment.
