Winnipeg Police have arrested a 19-year-old male for three robberies.
As News 4 told you on Friday, November 24, 2017, police were looking for a male suspect after he had robbed several victims who had placed online ads to sell used items.
The suspect would meet up with the victims pretending to be interested in purchasing the item the victims had to sell and would then produce a weapon and steal the victim’s belongings.
On Friday, November 24, 2017, Major Crimes, general patrol and tactical support officers arrested the suspect after an adult male and an adult female had gone to a home in the 500 block of Atlantic Avenue to buy a television they had seen advertised online. During the meeting, the suspect pulled a gun and pointed it at the couple and demanded money and property. The suspect then took off. The victims contacted police and were able to direct them to the residence where the suspect was arrested.
Darian Allen Gaige Sam, 19, has been charged for his alleged involvement with two counts of Robbery with Firearm, and Robbery with Weapon. He was also arrested on three outstanding warrants.
