Windsor police arrest bank robbery suspect

Windsor police have arrested a man connected to a bank robbery two weeks ago.

On May 10, officers were called to a bank on Tecumseh Road East near Walker Road. Police learned that a lone man entered the bank, approached a teller, and demanded money. He was given some cash and took off on foot.

Around 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, officers from the Problem-Oriented Policing (POP) Unit located and arrested a 49-year-old man on Marentette Avenue near Giles Boulevard East.

The man has been charged with robbery with threats of violence, wearing a disguise to commit an indictable offence, and possessing a prohibited firearm without holding a licence and registration certificate.

The charges have not been proven in court.
