Battlefords RCMP have arrested and charged Dylan James Larose, 24, of Saskatoon, in connection with three business robberies in the Battlefords and a gas station holdup in Saskatoon.
Larose was arrested Wednesday after Battlefords RCMP responded to a call at approximately midnight. A lone man had walked into a business on the 100 block of 22nd Street West in Battleford brandishing a weapon and demanding money.
Police say the man fled the scene and was tracked to a residence in Battleford with the assistance of the Battlefords RCMP Police Dog Unit.
The subsequent investigation involved the Battlefords Municipal GIS Section and the Saskatoon City Police GIS Unit, as police allege the same man was responsible for additional armed robberies.
Larose has been charged with three counts of robbery with a weapon, three of wearing a disguise with intent to commit an offence, three of failure to comply with a probation order and two of possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose.
He appeared North Battleford Provincial Court Thursday morning.
The investigation into the Saskatoon City Police file continues and additional charges are pending, police say.
