Man charged with robbing same bank 4 times
Winnipeg police have arrested a man they believe is behind a string of robberies dating back to December.
The trigger for the arrest came Friday when a man wearing a disguise entered a financial institution on Sargent Avenue and fled with an undisclosed amount of cash.
Investigating officers soon located a suspect in the area and took him into custody.
The investigation that followed led police to lay additional charges related to robberies of the same financial institution on three previous occasions as well as one at a bank on Notre Dame Avenue.
Glen Thomas Muskego, 40, has been charged with five robbery-related counts. He is being held in custody.
