Andre McQuiggan

A Dunkirk man has been arrested in an armed robbery that took place in the city last year.

Dunkirk Police announced that Andre McQuiggan, 22, was arrested Thursday on a Chautauqua County Court arrest warrant signed by Honorable David W. Foley for the felony charge of second-degree robbery. The charge stems from the Nov. 17, 2017 robbery of Robo Mart in the city of Dunkirk. It is alleged that McQuiggan held up the clerk and made off with an amount of money after brandishing what appeared to be a firearm.

The arrest was made after a lengthy investigation by Officers Martinez, Kozlowski, Christopher and Carruth of the Dunkirk Police Department along with Assistant District Attorney Erik Bentley.
