A man has been charged with several offences after he allegedly pointed a handgun at someone while robbing him of a shotgun.
RCMP were called about the incident in the parking lot of a business on Dufferin Street in The Pas at about 6:50 p.m. Monday. The suspect fled on foot.
An off-duty RCMP officer saw a man climbing onto a garage a short time later. The man tried to get into a vehicle, but the alarm went off, and he fled on foot.
A suspect was arrested by patrolling officers after a short foot chase. The 26-year-old man was found to be wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for being unlawfully at large.
An RCMP spokeswoman said the man who was robbed did not report the incident to police and investigators are looking into whether the two men know each other.
“We also have questions for the possible victim in regards to why they had a shotgun in the vehicle,” she said.
