Manitoba RCMP have recovered money that was stolen during two separate robberies at financial institutions in Dauphin.
Police say two banks were robbed by a suspect on October 20 on Main Street North.
According to police, the man entered both businesses, demanded cash and fled in a grey truck.
Officers responded to the first robbery at 10 a.m. and were alerted to a second robbery shortly thereafter on the same street.
At around 10:30 a.m., an officer located the suspect’s vehicle in a back alley between Main Street North and First Street Northwest. The suspect was still inside and was arrested without incident.
A large sum of Canadian currency was recovered from the vehicle.
A 25-year-old man from Duck Bay will be facing robbery charges.
Dauphin RCMP continue to investigate.
