Saint John police say a convicted armed robber wanted on a Canada-wide warrant is back in custody.

Shane Robinson was arrested on Friday after an armed robbery at an uptown business, police announced Monday.

Robinson had been wanted for allegedly breaching the conditions of his statutory release.

The 31-year-old man was residing at a community correction centre in Saint John.

Robinson is serving a sentence of more than 12 years for armed robbery, robbery with violence, fraud under $5,000, disguise with intent, and escape or being at large without excuse.
