Man arrested in Trail gas station robbery

RCMP have arrested a suspect in an armed robbery in Trail.

Police said in a news release they responded to an alarm last night at a downtown gas station after a man with a knife demanded money. After getting cash from the till, he ran off.

Officers patrolled the area and soon located the suspect, who was arrested without incident and remains in custody pending a court appearance. The suspect’s name has not been released. Police said some of the stolen money was recovered.

“The swift response and coordinated efforts by our frontline officers led to the safe arrest of the suspect in this case,” said Cpl. Brett Urano. “Their dedication to public safety and their commitment to the community are evident in the work they do every day.”
