The fourth and final man wanted in connection with a violent jewelry store robbery in southeast Edmonton in September has been arrested, police said Thursday.
A female clerk at this southeast Edmonton jewelry store was badly beaten in the September robbery. (CBC) The suspect was taken into custody without incident Monday in Delta, B.C.
The robbery occurred Sept. 7 at R.K. Jewellers, in a strip mall at 92nd Street and 34th Avenue. Two men entered the store and struck the lone female clerk several times with a handgun before tying her up and taking a large amount of jewelry, police said.
The woman suffered facial injuries in the attack.
One suspect surrendered to police in Burnaby, B.C., on Sept. 28. Two other men were arrested earlier in November.
The accused face weapons and armed robbery charges, as well as a count of unlawful confinement.
