At 6:30 a.m. on November 4, Mounties responded to a report of a robbery after a taxi driver was robbed at gunpoint by a male suspect.

Staff Sergeant Jay Peden confirms there were no shots fired. The GIS unit and Police Dog Services were utilized, but a suspect was not initially located.

However, RCMP say excellent descriptors and more surveillance images obtained by officers soon identified the suspect and linked him to both incidents.

The suspect was located at a residence in Inglewood and was taken into custody without incident.

Police seized the weapon — an airsoft gun — alleged to have been used in both robberies.

RCMP say the man faces numerous charges, but his name cannot be released at this time as those charges have not yet been sworn before the courts.
