A 31-year-old man from Surrey is facing several charges in connection to an armed robbery in Ladner last Monday.
Harkamai Singh Hira has been charged with one count of robbery and one count of using an imitation firearm while attempting to commit the indictable offence of robbery.
Hira was previously known to police. He is currently in custody and his next court appearance is scheduled for April 17.
Delta police say the investigation is ongoing as the second suspect involved has not been located.
“We know news of this robbery was concerning to Ladner residents and businesses, so we wanted to make sure our community was provided with an update,” said DPD public affairs coordinator Cris Leykauf.
Officers were called to a business in the 5200-block of Ladner Trunk Road around noon on April 2 for the report of a robbery in which staff say a gun was used. Cash and a quantity of goods were stolen. Police have not identified the store.
Two suspects fled in a vehicle that police located near the Surrey border. That vehicle crossed into oncoming traffic in the 12600-block of 68th Avenue where it struck another vehicle.
Hira was arrested on scene, while the driver of the suspect vehicle fled on foot.
Occupants of the other vehicle received minor injuries.
