A man is due in court on Tuesday in connection with an alleged armed robbery in west Saint John last summer.

Officers were called to a restaurant in the Lancaster Mall area on the evening of July 18, 2022.

Investigators said a masked man armed with a weapon had allegedly robbed the store of money. No injuries were reported.

The suspect fled on foot around the back of the building heading west toward Route 1 near the intersection of Bleury Street and Fairville Boulevard.

“A K9 search of the area yielded a number of articles of evidence including a weapon, but no suspect was apprehended,” Saint John police said in a news release at the time.

On Tuesday, police announced that a 26-year-old man had been arrested back on Nov. 7 following an investigation by the Major Crime Unit.
